cooking while out

That has to be the most adorable little pan I ever seen!

Honey, cooking oil, beans, rice, flour, cornmeal, and oats/quinoa are good staples for packing (you don't have to take a pound of each, just enough for a few *moderate* meals) that can be used to add variety to your diet. What I find helpful is taking a little cooking oil in a small bottle (350ml or so, which is about the size of a bottle of hotsauce) since it can be stretched to last awhile and doesn't take up much space. As for foods -- Store-bought ramen (lightweight, cheap, simple, fair amount of calories), pancakes/hard tack/cornbread, /out/ stew (anything edible/non-toxic from environment hucked in a pot and stewed with a little jerky for protein), burritos (tortillas can be pre-made and last for awhile in a resealable bag), /out/ stir-fry (whatever edible/non-toxic vegetation nearby hucked in and fried with a little oil/lard/etc).

Like the stew and stir-fry descriptions

A fucking ribeye you pleb

Last trip my s/o and I made and packed pemmican, jerky, and hard tack (add some spices, it's good), and bought some rice, chocolate bars, dehydrated stuff, summer sausage, along with a big old spice kit and tea. Next time I want to bring some mac & cheese, hot chocolate, and stuff for burritos.

Fried summer sausage is amazing and then you can use the oil to sautee greens or whatever else. Eating hard tack with hot dishes like stews or rice give it a really nice crunch.

Generally bringing along unprepared meat (like for steak) seems like a folly unless you go to "hike" in your backyard.
Maybe under subzero weather or somesuch.

I have tried this. If you freeze a few steaks solid and pack them together in an insulated bag they are still nicely chilled at the end of day two.

I'll pack cubed steak and veggies in aluminium foil, freeze it, vacuum pack it and stuff it in my sleeping bag. After hiking all day (and sometimes a second day), you can just throw it on some hot coals and you've got a nice hot meal.

I do lots of home canning (water bath and pressure canning). I can make tons of meals with anything in them and preserve them in jars. That means extra water and glass weight but that's no biggie for me since the max hike to base camp is only 15 miles.

You might look into retort pouches (same stuff used for MREs). You pack, seal and then pressure cook them, but instead of heavy and bulky jars, you light bags.

It's pretty expensive to get into, but you could make a killing on repacked food.
