For hungry people as a main course, I would plan on a half pound per person. That would be 20 pounds for forty people. You could use less if there are other meats also being served, or if it is for an appetizer, etc. Don't be afraid to have leftover roast beef! You can slice it thin to be served cold in a sandwich or on a salad. You can cut the leftover roast into cubes to be used in beef stew or beef vegetable soup. Freeze them in a freezer bag until you are ready. My favorite roast is a rump roast. Sprinkle all sides with salt and pepper, put it on a rack in a roasting pan in a 325 degree oven until done to your liking.

∙ 12y agoUsed to be you'd figure 1 lb ground beef (raw) per person because the fat cooks out, leaving you with less than a pound of cooked meat per person...but people used to eat more beef than they do today. So these days, unless the group has been doing hard, manual labor, 3/4 lb per person is a safe number.
So you've got two considerations: it depends on the type of beef and the type of people. But if you're talking regular ground beef, a safe number is 30 lbs; less if you're dealing with a group of kids or runway models , more if you have a group of wrestlers or cowboys. In a randomly selected group of people, 3/4 lb raw hamburger per person will feed everyone and a few people will have leftovers, especially if they are eating other stuff (appetizers, potatoes. salad, dessert) too.
If you use this rule, you can figure out any type of beef, based on the amount of fat. A leaner piece, figure less than a lb per person-- ground beef usually has the highest fat content of any serving of beef. For example, take a look at a T-Bone -- it has a bone which would be irrelevant weight, and is a high-fat piece of meat. Can you eat a whole T-bone after you take the bone out and cut out the gristle? Probably, if you're an average adult and you're hungry. Well, after taking the bone out, you're lucky if you have 3/4 lb of beef left, and it cooks down (gets lighter) from there, as the fat melts off and turns to grease. Ribs primarily consist of bone, gristle and fat, so 1 lb per person might be lite.
Bottom line : make sure the people you are feeding are a "normal" (i.e. random) sample -- which pretty much could be family groups--and figure about 1/2 lb actual cooked product per person.

How much roast beef for roast beef sandwiches for 20 people?
If you figure roughly 2 sandwiches per person... And each sandwich is 1/4 the size of a regular sandwich... That works out to 25 whole sandwiches cut into quarters. So the real question becomes how much roast beef do you need to make 25 sandwiches? I figure 1/10 of a pound of roast beef per sandwich should be adequate. So that means you'll need about 2.5 pounds. A full sandwich before cutting would be 4/10 of a pound of roast beef which is almost a half pound, so I think 1/10 of a pound would work nicely. And to be on the safe side, I'd make 60-65 mini sandwiches just to be sure.
