This practical Gustor guide provides recommended serving sizes for steak, bone-in rib steak, picanha, Wagyu, brisket, pulled pork, ribs, suckling pig and many other popular meat cuts.** Ja, hieronder staat de volledige Engelse vertaling van het blogartikel, gebaseerd op de laatste versie met de aangepaste hoeveelheden voor Boston Butt, Procureur en Brisket. # 馃ォ How Much Meat Should You Order Per Person? Our Practical Portion Guide ## **Not Sure How Much Meat To Order?** One of the questions we get asked most often is: **"How much meat should I allow per person?"** A perfectly understandable question. Nobody wants to run out of food, but nobody wants to be left with excessive leftovers either. To make things easier, we have compiled a practical overview of the average portions we recommend for the most popular cuts in our assortment. It is important to remember that these are averages. Some people simply eat more than others. You know your guests best. If you are hosting a table full of BBQ enthusiasts or big eaters, feel free to increase the quantities. If your guests are lighter eaters or if the meal includes many side dishes, you can reduce them slightly. --- # # # **馃ォ Boneless Beef** ### Rib Eye, Entrec么te, Striploin These cuts generally contain a certain amount of marbling and sometimes an outer fat cap which is included in the total weight. **Recommended portion: 卤 300 grams per person** In our opinion, this is the ideal serving size for a main course. --- # # # **馃ォ Lean Steaks** ### Chateaubriand, Filet Mignon, Beef Tenderloin These cuts contain very little fat and virtually no waste. As a result, the recommended portion can be slightly smaller. **Recommended portion: minimum 200 grams per person** For hearty appetites, a larger portion is certainly welcome. --- # # # **馃ォ Bavette & Onglet** These highly flavorful cuts have a slightly firmer texture and are often favored by true steak lovers. **Recommended portion: 卤 250 grams per person** --- # # # **馃ォ Carpaccio** Our carpaccios are primarily intended to be served as a starter. **Starter: 1 carpaccio per person** Would you like to serve carpaccio as an appetizer or sharing plate? **In that case, allow 1 carpaccio for approximately 3 people.** --- # # # **馃ォ Bone-In Beef** ### Bone-In Rib Steak (C么te 脿 l'Os), Tomahawk When serving bone-in beef, part of the total weight consists of bone. Therefore, the recommended portion is slightly higher. **Recommended portion: 400 to 500 grams per person** For large sharing C么te 脿 l'Os steaks, we usually calculate approximately 450 grams per person. --- # # # **馃ォ Picanha** Picanha includes its characteristic fat cap, which contributes significantly to both flavor and juiciness. This fat cap is part of the total weight. **Recommended portion: minimum 300 grams per person** --- # # # **馃ォ Japanese Wagyu A5** Japanese Wagyu is a category of its own. Because of its exceptional marbling and richness, people generally eat less Wagyu than traditional steak. ### As A Main Course **150 to 250 grams per person** ### As A Starter **100 grams per person** ### As An Appetizer Or Tasting Portion **30 to 40 grams per person** Often, this is all you need to create an unforgettable culinary experience. --- # # # **馃敟 Boneless Low & Slow BBQ** ### Boston Butt, Pork Collar, Brisket With low & slow cooking, some moisture and fat are naturally lost during the cooking process. Nevertheless, the yield remains relatively high. ### Main Course **卤 300 grams per person when the meat is the primary dish (for example pulled pork sandwiches or brisket served as the main attraction).** ### Starter **卤 150 grams per person** --- # # # **馃敟 Bone-In Low & Slow BBQ** ### Short Ribs, St. Louis Style Ribs With these cuts, you must take the bone weight into account. On average, approximately 50% of the original weight remains as edible meat. **Recommended portion: minimum 500 grams per person** --- # # # # **馃悥 Suckling Pig** For a whole suckling pig, bones, fat and non-edible parts must also be considered. Here too, the net edible meat yield is approximately 50%. **Recommended portion: minimum 500 grams per person** --- # # # **馃搵 Quick Reference Guide** | Product | Recommended Portion | | --- | --- | | Rib Eye, Entrec么te | 300 g p.p. | | Chateaubriand, Filet Mignon | 200 g p.p. | | Bavette, Onglet | 250 g p.p. | | Carpaccio Starter | 1 piece p.p. | | Carpaccio Appetizer | 1 piece / 3 people | | C么te 脿 l'Os, Tomahawk | 400 - 500 g p.p. | | Picanha | 300 g p.p. | | Wagyu A5 Main Course | 150 - 250 g p.p. | | Wagyu A5 Starter | 100 g p.p. | | Wagyu A5 Tasting Portion | 30 - 40 g p.p. | | Boston Butt, Pork Collar, Brisket | 300 g p.p. | | Short Ribs, St. Louis Ribs | 500 g p.p. | | Suckling Pig | 500 g p.p. | --- # # # **Our Final Tip** Still unsure about the right quantity?
