How much meat per person for my BBQ?

Allow an average of 200 to 250g of meat per adult , varying the types of cuts. This allows you to offer choice without overloading your plates.
For children, 100 to 150 g is sufficient depending on age and appetite.

Does the quantity vary depending on the type of meat?

Absolutely! Here are some pointers:

• Sausages, merguez : 2 pieces per adult (~150 g)
• Chops : 1 to 2 per person (~180-200 g)
• Skewers : 1 to 2 depending on their size
• Chicken breasts or steak : ~150-180 g per person

My Barbecue's gourmet tip: create a mixed platter to satisfy all tastes.

How to calculate the quantity for 10 people?

For 10 adults, plan on approximately:

• 10 sausages
• 10 merguez
• 10 skewers
• 10 chops

That's about 2.5 to 3 kg of meat in total for a generous barbecue.

My Barbecue's gourmet tip: don't forget the vegetables! Allow 1 kg of grilled vegetables for 10 people.

Does the type of barbecue change the quantity to plan for?

The quantities remain the same, but the type of barbecue influences cooking :

• A brick or stone barbecue provides constant heat, ideal for large pieces.
  
  
• It also allows cooking over a wood or charcoal fire, which is more authentic and tasty.

When to prepare meat for barbecue?

Ideally, you should prepare or marinate your meat 2 to 3 hours before cooking. This improves the flavor, tenderizes the meat, and makes cooking easier.

What to do with leftover meat?

• Cooked meat : keep it cool and consume within 48 hours (sandwiches, salads, wraps).
• Raw meat : Freeze immediately if it has been kept cool and not exposed to heat.
