What You Need

  • Portable BBQ Grill

Unfortunately, you may have trouble finding the sweet spot to cook the perfect steak after pulling out your Portable Grill and attempting to roast some meat. Once you get the hang of it once you should be a natural chef, so here's how to properly cook a Well-Done Steak in Monster Hunter Wilds.

How to grill a Well-Done Steak in Monster Hunter Wilds

Sometimes the best meals to eat on the hunt are the simplest ones. All you need to have is Raw Meat in your pack as well as your Portable BBQ Grill.

Step 1: Scroll through your item pouch until you reach your Portable BBQ Grill. Take it out by pressing Square/X on controller (E key on keyboard).

Step 2: If you have Raw Meat with you, your character will pull it out and start the cooking minigame. To cook it perfectly, wait for about one second after your hunter flips over the meat and press the interact button to finish the grilling part.

Step 3: The second part has you chop your meat into five chunks, but you must time it right. Follow the beat of the music, and hit the interact button on the music beat as soon as your hunter starts to cut.

Step 4: If you grilled and cut your meat perfectly, you should get 12 Well-Done Steak just from that one piece of Raw Meat. But if you failed to cut it correctly, you'll only receive six pieces.

On the other hand, cooking it wrong can result in Rare Steak or Burnt Meat. The difference between the three types of meat is important for the buffs you're looking for:

  • Rare Steak: Raises maximum health bar for a limited time and restores some health/stamina.
  • Well-Done Steak: Raises maximum health bar for a limited time and fully restores health/stamina.
  • Burnt Meat: Only restores some stamina.

Where to find Raw Meat

You'll need to get your hands on some Raw Meat before you can start grilling steak, which isn't too hard to come across.

Intel’s Arc G3 Extreme could be the plot twist handheld gaming needed
My time with the MSI Claw and Acer Predator Atlas suggests AMD finally has genuine competition.
Intel Arc G3 Extreme Hands On with Acer Predator Atlas 8

If there’s one gadget category I’ve spent an unhealthy amount of time obsessing over in the past few years, it’s handheld gaming PCs. I’ve put hundreds of hours into the Steam Deck, bought an original ROG Ally for myself, and most recently reviewed the ROG Xbox Ally X in depth. I’ve seen this market evolve from a cool experiment into something that can genuinely replace a gaming laptop for quick sessions on the couch or while travelling. I’ve also experienced its biggest weakness firsthand. No matter how good these machines get, there’s always some compromise lurking around the corner, whether it’s battery life, thermals, performance, or software quirks.

So when I landed at Computex 2026 and got the chance to spend time with Acer’s brand-new Predator Atlas 8 and MSI’s latest Claw 8 EX AI+, I was naturally excited. Not just because they looked cool, but because they represented something the handheld market desperately needed: real competition. Truth be told, Intel’s new Arc G3 Extreme processor might just be the most important handheld announcement we’ve seen in years. And honestly? It’s about time.
