Revealing about beef? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

veal

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

'beef' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'revealing about' is the wordplay.
'about' says the answer is hidden in the clue (the clue goes around or about the answer).
'VEAL' can be found hidden inside 'revealing'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for veal that I've seen before include "White meat" , "cuisine" , "Calf meat" , "Calf flesh" , "Type of meat" .)
