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

'meat cut' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'brief tease' is the wordplay.
'brief' becomes 'short' (synonyms).
'tease' becomes 'rib' (I've seen this in other clues).
'short'+'rib'='SHORT-RIB'

Can you help me to learn more?
