How to cook a well done steak in Monster Hunter Wilds
One of the main ways to ensure your hunter doesn't go hungry in Monster Hunter Wilds is to cook Well-done Steaks. However, this is easier said than done if you're not sure how to approach the task. How to craft Well-Done Steak in Monster Hunter Wilds Before you can even attempt to cook a Well-done Steak, you're going to need access to two different items: the Portable BBQ Grill and some Raw Meat. I will explain how you can get both. Screenshot by Destructoid The Portable BBQ Grill is the easiest to obtain, only requiring you to progress the main storyline far enough until it is permanently unlocked for you. Don't worry; this process doesn't take long if you're just getting started in Monster Hunter Wilds. You may need to sit through a few cutscenes and a beginner monster or two, but you won't have to wait long to get this item. Once it is unlocked, you'll be able to scroll to it in your item bar, or use it directly from the Item Racial Menu if you set it up that way.

Raw Meat typically comes from the non-hostile Herbivore monsters roaming around areas with natural elements such as grass or water sources. They are almost always in packs, and attacking one will cause them all to attempt to flee from you. Kill one and carve it to obtain its Raw Meat. You can do this as much as you like, as long as you have space in your Item Pouch. With both the Portal BBQ Grill and Raw Meat in your inventory, it's time to get cooking. Use the Portable BBQ Grill, and your hunter will pull it out and set it up. You'll be given the option to cook a meal or grill some meat. For this task, you'll want to select the Grill Meat option, as it's the only way to make Well-Done Steaks. Screenshot by Destructoid When you select Grill Meat, a mini-game will start, showering your ears with a tune. This tune is very important for the game, as you want to interact with the meat almost the moment the tune comes to an end. Doing this too early or too late will result in either undercooked or overcooked meat, which is not the target. Screenshot by Destructoid Interacting with the correct timing will result in a second rhythm game to determine how many Well-Done Steaks you'll get. The second mini-game requires you to time your knife cuts (into the cooked meat) with the tune. Perfect timing will result in multiple Well-done Steaks, all for one use of Raw Meat. As with before, this process can be repeated as many times as you desire, so long as you have space in your Item Pouch. Well-done Steaks are superior entirely to using Rations to restore Stamina (which is also your Hunger meter), and you should graduate from making use of Rations at all unless in dire circumstances. Well-Done Steaks also offer you some healing, allowing them to be used for sustainable purposes as well, though I'd recommend using Potions for that, more often than not.
