Overview
Marinated Meat is one of the strongest recovery items in Crimson Desert. It restores both health and spirit in significant amounts, and it grants a fire resistance buff on top. The in-game description reads: "A side dish with meat simmered for a long duration until the seasoning permeates every fiber." The combination of dual restoration and a resistance bonus makes Marinated Meat one of the best foods for boss encounters.
Marinated Meat is a Pot Cooking recipe within the Cooking system. Its higher ingredient requirements reflect its superior effects. This is the kind of food worth saving for challenging content rather than eating during routine exploration.

Spirit Restoration | +26.0 | Instant |
Lv 4 | 1 minute |
With 280 health and 26 spirit in a single item, Marinated Meat is one of the most efficient provisions in the game. The fire resistance stacks with the defensive value, making it especially potent when fighting fire-element enemies or navigating volcanic regions.
How to Craft
The Marinated Meat recipe must be obtained before it can be cooked. Look for the recipe at merchant shops in larger towns, or complete Cooking-related quests and exploration milestones. Once learned, the recipe requires gathering materials from multiple sources: Hunting for meat, foraging for raspberries, and ranching for eggs.
Tips
Save Marinated Meat for boss fights and dungeon crawls. Its dual restoration and resistance buff are overkill for regular enemies.
Raspberries grow in clusters, so mark berry bush locations on your map for return trips.
If you are running low on Cooking Oil, check the merchant at the Greymane Camp Food Shop.
