8-10 pounds dry per 100 depending on whether they are light or heavy eaters and what else is being served. If you are making the BBQ yourself, and it is the only meat, you need AT LEAST 1 pound boneless raw beef per 4 people, 1 for three if it is plated and not going into tacos or sandwiches, or if it is self serve.

3 to 3 1/2 pounds dry rice. If you use a baked rice recipe, tightly covered, you just turn it to 180 as soon as it is cooked and fluffed- re-cover it tightly and pop it back in the warm oven. No extra water or just a sprinkle- and like all pilafs, tastier if made with chicken stock or broth.

mexican rice
Im going to make mexican rice for about 60 guests. What is the cooking method? How do the caterers do it? I would usually use a stove top but have heard of an oven method and re-heat for later.

Pro caters have steam kettles , huge items not like any home kitchen item.
You want any of my Mexican or Spanish rice recipes, 2/3 the amount for 100. You can easily do this in the oven, and it is much tastier if not reheated. You bake rice in a roaster with a tight lid. Allowing 40-50 minutes if it is white, an hour for brown. The liquid should be hot when it mixes with the dry rice.

About 8 pounds each dried rice and beans would make plenty, 7 if they are lighter eaters or many kids. If you are making the BBQ yourself, and it is the only meat, you need AT LEAST 1 pound boneless raw beef or pork per 4 people, 1 for three if it is plated and not going into tacos or sandwiches, or if it is self serve. If buying already made, 1 pound for 5 is a minimum, 1 for 4 if it is plated and not going into tacos or sandwiches, or if it is self serve.
Both beef and pork make good barbaracoa, you want boneless chuck roast or pork shoulder (same cut, different animal).
