When preparing pulled pork, you will usually serve it on a plate or in a sandwich bun. If you are making your own pulled pork from a large piece of meat, which we strongly recommend for a richer taste, keep in mind that you can get 4 to 5 pounds of meat out of an 8-pound pork belly or shoulder.
This will be more than enough to feed 12 to 15 people. As you might already know, ribs are way easier if counted in pieces, instead of weight, and they are purchased in racks.
If we are talking about spare racks, which are larger than baby back ribs, you should consider that a rack can feed 3 or 4 people max. But if we are talking about baby back ribs, this number gets smaller, because these racks are also smaller. If baby back ribs are what you prefer, consider that a rack can feed 2 people or three tops. The rule with steaks is simple: the more bone and fat, the smaller the yield. Considering the fact that steaks are prepared in various conditions, with multiple levels of doneness, you should be prepared to get more.
If you are preparing T-bones, an average of 1. Tenderloin tends to be the meat with the highest yield out there. So, if you want to serve 10 ounces per person, you need to put 11 ounces on the grill, simple as that. Just make sure to check on the quality of the meat. If you see occasional fat traces you do not have to worry, but if these marks appear way too often, increase the weight of the meat you are getting. Brisket is the favorite sandwich ingredient for a lot of people around the world, with a serving of 4 ounces per sandwich.
Now, let us be honest for a moment and admit the fact that we never actually prepare brisket in smaller sizes, and the go big or go home rule applies perfectly here. For a larger cookout, you will serve at least 8 ounces of brisket per person, meaning that you need to get 10 pounds of meat for 10 people.
This meat is pretty fat, and it will shrink its size by half, so be prepared. It depends. You can put any type of meat on a skewer if you are skilled enough, but one rule applies: the skewer construction and fillers veggies, mushrooms, etc.
Party Planning. Add a few extra servings to have enough for second servings or leftovers. Round up as you multiply - it's better to have a little extra than to run out.
Any unused meat, either raw or cooked, can be frozen for another use. Spareribs 1 lb. Steak - T-bone 6 oz. Portion control rules dictate that each person should consume a piece of meat the size of their palm. The more lavish your family dinner is, the more meat products can be served at your party.
People tend to focus more on meaty products for holiday events like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years. People of different cultures have a very different take on the correct meat portions.
For example, people from Switzerland consider meat a rare delicacy. An average meat serving size for Swedish people is much smaller than the portion size of your average American. Educational factors also play a part in the amount of meat people prefer to consume.
All of these factors can make it hard to decide just how much meat you should be serving. When meat is the main focus, you should allow for generous portions even though you might have quite a few side dishes on the table. At simple events like birthdays, anniversaries, or casual parties, meat can be served as just part of the main dish. In these cases, you might get away with less meat. You may also find certain bits and pieces like bone or fat unappealing and might wish to cut these away before cooking it.

If you plan to have a number of other appetizers too then pieces per person will do. If your calls for a whole chicken then calculate the quantity keeping in mind that a whole chicken will be good for people. When meat is the main feature of a meal, such as steak or chicken breast, the serving size increases to 6 to 8 ounces per serving. The serving size of meat decreases when it is prepared with topping, breaded, or served in heavy sauces or gravies.
