Breakfast, lunch, dinner and restaurants
An average adult will eat about 1 pound of food. Hence a good rule of thumb is to go with 1/2 a pound or 8 ounces of meat per person . This is when the meat is your main dish.

The easiest rule is the “One Pound Rule.” Provide one pound of food for each adult guest (not including drinks or dessert). NON-BOOZY DRINKS: Calculate two drinks the first hour and then an additional drink for every hour after that.
When Meat Is the Main: When cooking something like steak , roast, chicken, or pork, where meat is the main feature of the meal and paired with a few side dishes, we recommend about 1/2 pound (eight ounces) per person , up to 3 /4 (12 ounces) pound for bigger appetites and those who love leftovers.
Roast for 12 mins per 450g/1lb ( about 55 mins for a 2kg/4lb 8oz joint) for medium-rare, or 15 mins per 450g/1lb ( about 1 hr 10 mins ) for medium-well. Remove from the oven, lift onto a platter, cover with foil and rest for 30 mins .
Place the beef on top of the vegetables. Place the tray in the oven, then turn the heat down immediately to 200°C/400°F/gas 6 and cook for 1 hour for medium beef. If you prefer it medium-rare, take it out 5 to 10 minutes earlier. For well done, leave it in for another 10 to 15 minutes .
If you like rare beef cook the joint for 20 minutes per 450g plus 20 minutes , for a medium result cook the meat for 25 minutes per 450g plus 25 minutes and for a well done joint cook it for 30 minutes per 450g plus 30 minutes. Once the joint is cooked allow it to stand for 10 minutes this will make it easier to carve.
One pound (16 ounces) of 80/20 raw ground beef , pan browned and drained, will equal 12 ounces of cooked ground beef . The average serving of protein per guest is 4 ounces.
All three meats are sliced at the restaurant and cost roughly the same as sliced deli meat at a grocery store: $4.99 for a half pound and $8.99 for one pound.

The rich, melt-in-your-mouth flavor filet mignon is known for comes from the sear , which is produced using an extremely high heat to produce a deep brown exterior. The sear does not cook the meat; therefore, you can complete it ahead of time.
