1/4 lbs per person

Allow for 4 - 6oz per person (cooked weight).

1/4 pound per person should be enough. Round it up if you feel it too little. But with sides and all, you don't want too much food left over either.

one half pound of chopped or sliced beef per person plus one pound extra for every ten people so, eighteen pounds should be way more than enough to feed your crowd.
