Still not finished this from last Saturday.

This I assume is a massive anagram but I can't see the answer:
45a Beef men cooked with lemon - so something fishy here (4,5,5)
I've got S??? B???E ?E?M?

I think this is another outsized anagram:

34d Stupidly lose a tent peg and a window catch (12)
?s???????t??

45 Sole Bonne Femme, an anagram (but I haven't checked it all off. I'm on a bus!)

34 Another big anagram and another French word - Espagnolette (lose a tent peg)

... and the 34 is a fastening device on a French window., confirmed in Chambers.

Thank you Malone, never heard of either, very poor clues in my opinion.

SB, glad I could help. I'd heard of the fish dish, but not the window catch.

I see you have a few Scenarios now...

Thanks, haven't heard of reins meaning internal organs.
