Answer

You can say "burnt" or "charcoaled"...

..or, "cooked it to death."

Answer

"Overcooked" is a very good word.  If the meat is black then you can say "I burnt the meat."  If it isn't black then you can say "The meat is very well-done."  I doubt the meat would be black if you boiled it :)

Answer

charred
