produce

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'you take out' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'jab with a strange-looking cue' is the wordplay.
'jab' becomes 'prod' (synonyms).
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'a strange looking' is an anagram indicator.
'cue' anagrammed gives 'uce'.
'prod'+'uce'='PRODUCE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for produce that I've seen before include "Make, create" , "Fresh fruit and veg for market - crop due (anag)" , "Create - crop" , "Bear" , "Make, manufacture" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
