Even if you are a seasoned hunter, there are times when you will have to rely on consumable items to survive against a monster. Potions are there to heal you, and items like Mulberry exist to remove a certain debuff. At times, some monsters can place a permanent debuff on you and can decrease your total health and stamina for the entire duration of this fight.

You will need to rely on special items like the Well Done Steak to restore yourself to maximum potential in Monster Hunter Wilds. This special consumable item can be used during a battle, and it has a variety of uses. However, getting this item is not very straightforward. This article will explain how to get the Well Done Steak in Monster Hunter Wild, and how you can perfect your craft to acquire it.

You need to craft Well Done Steak in Monster Hunter Wilds to use it during a hunt. Luckily, you can do this process anywhere as long as you are able to use Portable BBQ Grill and have Raw Meat in your item pouch.

Follow these steps to easily make Well Done Steak in Monster Hunter Wilds:

  • Ensure you have Raw Meat in your item pouch.
  • Go through your item wheel and bring out your Portable BBQ Grill.
  • From the menu, select Grill Meat.
  • Roast the meat perfectly to move to the next stage of animation (We discuss more on this below).
  • If you have done it correctly, a cutting animation will ensue.
  • After cutting, you will acquire Well Done Steak in Monster Hunter Wilds.

Well Done Steak, Rare Steak, and Burnt Meat

If you stop grilling the meat too early, you will get Rare Steak instead. Similarly, if you are even a second late, you will be left with Burnt Steak in your Item Pouch. Here are the main differences between Well Done Steak, Rare Steak, and Burnt Meat in Monster Hunter Wilds:

Additionally, you can also get Well Done Steak from the giant Wudwud Bonfire on the second floor of the Wudwud village. This village is located in the Scarlet Forest region of Monster Hunter Wilds and plays an important part in the second chapter of the game. You can give these NPCs any meat-based item, and you will get some amount of Well Done Steak in return from them in Monster Hunter Wilds.

As mentioned earlier, you need to perfectly cook the meat to get Well Done Steak in Monster Hunter Wilds. There is a very short window here, and you need to be very precise.

Here are the steps to cook meat to perfection and acquire Well Done Steak in Monster Hunter Wilds:

  • When you start using the Portable BBQ Grill, roasting will start automatically.
  • After the first flip, keep a very careful eye on the color and texture of the meat.
  • The moment the color and texture change, immediately press the button to stop cooking. (Usually, this is ‘spacebar’ on PC, but you can see the button for your controller on the top-right of the screen.)
  • If done correctly, another animation will begin where the Hunter is preparing to cut the meat.
  • At every beat of the music, press the same button as earlier to cut the meat precisely.
  • The more accurate you are with this cutting, the more Well Done Steak you will get in Monster Hunter Wilds. (discussed below)

If you have done everything perfectly, another short unique animation will ensue where the Hunter will hold one of the pieces of the steak up like a trophy.
