Here's the scoop, and you'll be able to see right through it. If any "nasty" bacteria park on meat, like on the steak, they park on the outside. (How're they gonna park anywhere else?) When a steak is cooked, the outside gets all the heat (it must penetrate to the middle) and the "nasty" things that might be on the outside take the heat and are probably cooked and killed. With ground meat, a "nasty" bug can park on the meat at any point in the cutting and grinding operation and get "mixed in" so it is on the inside. The "bugs" that might make a diner sick aren't found on the inside of a steak. They could be anywhere in the ground beef.

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.
