Hi, we are making a lunch for approx. 150 youth and 50 adults. We are serving roast beef and oven chicken pieces- drumsticks/thighs. Making 200 pieces of chicken. How many pounds of roast beef are needed? Beef choices are sirloin, rump, cross rib chuck, or top round. How much should be prepare? Thank you. |

Chicken is right. If beef is buffet style, at least 60 pounds boneless if served, about 75 if self serve. Gravy helps with quantity control, , at least 1 cup per 4. Good starchy sides and bread help, too. Top round, rump or chuck is excellent if cooked low and slow to tenderize and sliced thin (IMPORTANT). Sirloin is lovely, more tender, but pricey compared to the others. Do read the beef roasting page: www.ellenskitchen.com/faq/roastbeeftable.html If this saves you time trouble, or money, please make a donation to support the site. Thank you. |
