How much roast beef for roast beef sandwiches for 20 people?

Answer 1

Forty thin slices of cooked roast beef, is the standard. but if you are cooking the roast beef yourself at least a 7 lb roast.

Answer 2

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.

Answer 3

For a 1/2 lb sandwich, it would require 50 lbs.

Answer 4

Roughly 1/3 lb per...6 lbs.
