I have a little titanium ultralight grill that I really like using. One of my favorite meals is a small steak with slices of green pepper and portabella mushroom. Obviously though, not everyone is going to have the time or pack capacity to bring fresh food and do all that cooking.
If you don't mind having to carry around the empty cans with you, I recommend developing a taste for stuff like pate, potted meat, deviled ham, and canned chicken. I'm not a fan of spam so I don't recommend that, but there are a lot of canned meat options that aren't half bad once you get used to the differences with regular meat.
One of my favorite shelf stable meats has long been the pickled sausage, though. Any shelf-stable sausage is going to be a great addition to your food supply on the trail. Sausages like pic related can be eaten cold, boiled in the bag, grilled, or cooked on a stick.
