How much meat should I buy for a barbecue?

When organizing a barbecue, the big question always comes up: how much meat should I buy per person? To make sure there’s neither too much nor too little (and avoid fights over the last sausage), here’s the foolproof formula:

 

For a traditional barbecue

  • Adults: Between 400 and 500 grams of meat per person. This includes cuts like flank steak, ribs, skirt steak, etc.
  • Kids: 300 grams per person.

 

If it’s served with bread or there’s a little appetizer involved, you can reduce it by about 100 grams per person.

 

That’s how we calculate it—how do you do it at your barbecues?
