I found this challenge to be the harder of the level specific achievements. But I managed to cook together a collection of powers that seem to work well together for preserving them precious steaks :D

First of all, choose your powers: (refer to the Image)

I went with 3 x Spiked balls
4 x Splodey barrels
1 x whirlwind
1 x Spark ball

Secondly, the Strategy:

Luckily you have a Meteor Magnet free of charge (and obviously, this does not prevent you from getting the achievement for using only powers). For the most part, your meteor magnet is going to do all the heavy hitting, but you want to try and manage the 'clusters' of dinosaurs so that you can maximise the meteors damage.

This level spits out a massive hoard of single-type Dinosaurs progressively at regular intervals:

The first wave consists of Tina Triceratops' - right in the beginning, make sure you have 3 coconuts so that you can make use of your spike balls against the Tina's. If you position yourself at the top left near the first bend, your power-up should kill a good few in clusters, and you Meteors will kill the rest.

Next, they throw Hank Ankylosauarus' at you. Repeat the same procedure as you do for Tina. Just make sure you have 3 coconuts, position yourself in the same area, and the spike balls should be enough to seriously damage the Hank's for your meteors to once again clean up the stragglers. Try and collect outstanding coconuts whenever you have a a light break or lull in attacks. You dont want to run out when you need to be using your powers.

Third wave consists of Bruno Stegosaurus'. This is where the other powers come in. I waited until almost all Brunos were out of the cave and spread out throughout the lane, then I used a Splodey Barrel in the top left section above the lane (near the first bend, just move it around to make sure it deals damage in a wide area across the lane) you should cover most Bruno's, although they will surive. Not to worry though because the meteor will be hitting them at this point. To finish clearing them up, quickly grab some coconuts if you dont have enough and activate your whirlwind. Make sure you focus on the Brunos' that survived and stick close to lanes when using whirlwind (duh). You may not kill them all, but with luck you will. Alternatively you could use another Splodey Barrel which should whipe them all out.

If any Bruno's are remaining, they will be at the top right section of the lane when a hoard of overgrown Comapny C. Company critters start coming out of the cave. If you used whirlwind, you should still have a bit to damage the Company critters as well, as they will catch up to the Bruno's in no time. Right after whirlwind, use yor spark balls, because it will shock and group the Company critters so your meteors will be more effective. They tend to make it as far as the bottom right part of the lane, so you might want to position Sharpey at the bottom right of the Meteor Magnet and go to town on the Company. Make sure you clear them all before what comes next...

Fifth and finally, A group of Todd Rex's start pouring out of the cave. They will start when the Company critters get to the bottom right part of the lane (as explained above). MAKE SURE THE CRITTERS ARE DEALT WITH BEFORE KILLING THE REX'S, as they tend to slip by if not outright killed.

When there are only REX's left, the first few will already be quite far, so you will have to make use of the Snow ball traps provided. I used all three at once starting with the bottom one and working my way up counter-clockwise. This will give you time to collect a few coconuts if need be. Make sure you have enough for 2 Splodey barrels. The first wave of Rex's can be killed if you place your first Splodey Barrel correctly near the bottom middle left of the lane (the Rex's should be bunched together from the snow ball ealrier). Before long, the next wave will be nearing the same place, wait for them to be close enough and repeat the process, that should kill them too. Lastly, there might be one or two Rex's left over. Use your left over Splodey Barrel to take care of him/them.

If you follow this general strategy you should be able to preserve all three steaks. Remember you might have a spare spike ball left, which you could slip in somewhere for use, or swap it for the ice ball power-up to slow the straggler Rex's.
Im sorry for the long explanation, but I have tried this method a good few times since having done it for the achievement, and it's worked every time.

Hope it helps :D

Agree with Adam Jensen 007. I used only 'Splodey Barrels and cleared the level on my first try.

Good guide but TNT works way better
