I'm making beef wellington for my grandparents' wedding anniversary tomorrow. There will be 13 people. How many pounds of beef will I need?

>> No.16427689

nigga im not doing your math homework for you

>> No.16427691

3lbs per person x 13 = 41lbs of beef

>> No.16427695

>>16427686
On a normal I eat about 2 pound at a go but with Wellie? Wellie got bread all on it so not so much maybe like 1 pound a little bit more.

>> No.16427708

>>16427686
1/2 pound per person is the average recommendation. If you know most people have bigger appetites then 3/4 pound per person.

>> No.16427709

Look, all I need to know is that if I leave for the butcher shop 5 miles away traveling at 40 miles per hour at 1:00, and my aunt leaves for the supermarket 10 miles away traveling at 45 miles per hour at 12:30, when is the earliest we can leave for my grandparents' house?

Thing you gotta keep in mind is that beef shrinks when you cook it. Three pounds per person may sound like a lot, but after being exposed to 450 degrees in the oven for 6 hours, that's only going to be a little over a pound per person, and there's nothing wrong with leftovers.

>> No.16427717

>>16427708
Half pound per person? That sounds excessive, especially since half the attendees are women and 8 people are over 60 and 2 are over 90.

he did say grandparents anniversary so naturally you would assume 13 old people

Natually you would assume extended family, young and old.

I think a 6 pound center cut Chateaubriand would probably be sufficient for your purposes.

>> No.16428149

>>16427717
I'd get at least a 3 1/2 or 4 lb roast. It's really hard to even cut smaller than 1/3 lb slices off a wellington or else you'll end up serving someone sloppy bits of pastry on top of the meat.

>> No.16428255

>>16427710
That is really not correct. Beef loss is 20-40% depending on the trim and marbling. 3lbs per person would yield about 28 oz per person which is 1 3/4 pounds of beef. That’s a huge red meat portion. Assuming you want an 8 oz yield then a bit more than 3/4 of a pound, or 10lbs for 13 people is more than enough. That will give you leftovers and feed the big eaters.

>> No.16428272

A pound? There are people in this thread suggesting that normal human beings eat 450g of solid beef in one sitting?

I'd second this. 1/4lb is the standard serving size for beef, but its more practical to round up to 1/3rd.

If its a rare occasion spend the extra to get more than you think you will need, better to have left overs than not enough.

Does either grandparent or any of the guests only eat well done meat? Not the only thing you should prepare for this feast, if that answer is yes. Have a second main at the same time. Roast a ham ahead of time, or turkey breast, slice and rewarm in the gravy.
Measure your roast in length in inches, not weight. Diameter will vary. Assume a 1 inch slice, cooked, for each guest, so 1.5 inches raw.

You would assume younger people, as the old ones would have already died off, naturally.
