Dragon’s Dogma 2 has 8 types of Grilled Meat. Grilling all 8 types of meat at day and at night unlocks The Barbecue-Maister trophy. For the trophy it’s important that you grill each meat twice, once during daylight hours, once at night time. There are some reports that grilling only 1 meat at night is enough to pop the trophy for some players, so it’s best to grill everything at day first and then one meat at night, if it doesn’t unlock grill every type of meat at night too.
You can grill meat at campfires. For this you also need a Camping Kit. Campfires are found along the main paths on the map, they get marked by an icon when going near them. Camping Kits can be bought from merchants in the bigger towns, or found in the world/from quest rewards. Before sleeping at the campfire, interact with the campfire itself to select a meat you want to grill. Grilling Meat gives you passive stat boosts so it’s good to do this every time you rest. You can switch between day and night by sleeping at the camp. Then you can immediately camp again to grill another meat.
You should obtain every type of meat from natural gameplay sooner or later. Meat is frequently dropped by large enemies, from wildlife, or found around towns in people’s houses. Meat will rot in your inventory over time. The “rotten” versions must be grilled too. If you want to preserve meat, put it in your storage. Items in the storage don’t perish. You can access the storage at some inns, for example at the inn in Vernworth next to Stardrop Inn. Alternatively, you can buy a house and find a storage chest there (unlocked from Side Quest: A Place to Call Home).

This trophy popped for me after I grilled every meat during the day and one kind of meat at night time. I most definitely hadn’t grilled every type twice when it popped.

Beast-Steak is pretty common from killing the Bison looking animals just North West of Vernworth. I got 5 in a few minutes killing them
