sliced meat catering

Buster Dog BBQ · 03-08-2010, 02:21 PM

I have someone come to me and asked about catering a party. They preferred sliced meat opposed to pulled or chopped.

That leaves brisket, ham, pork loin and what else?

I am trying to figure a price per head here on each one but don't know the yield of a ham ork pork loin.

If I had to guess brisket yields about 1/4 lb person and can serve maybe 20-25 from an average brisket one sandwich. Pork loin I can get maybe 40 sandwiches from and maybe the same with ham.

Am I somewhat close on that? Other suggestions for sliced meat?

Thanks.

Do whole ribeyes either as ribeye sandwich, or you can cook it along futher to make roast beef out of it. Little more expensive but pretty good eating. I did it at the last function we held at the church.

You can slice pork butts,

Turkey!!

yep, turkey, sliced boston butt, tri-tip, roast beef

beef tenderloin if they have deep pockets. Great with horsey sauce on a good yeast roll. Prime rib, eye of the round. These are just in addition to the tri-tip siggestion.

Pork loin makes a great sammy or entree. A little rub and sauce. Or stuffed.

Butts slice nicely at about 170-180.

Buster Dog BBQ · 03-08-2010, 06:50 PM

Great ideas. Thanks guys. I totally spaced off the stuff like turkey.

I see a lot of tri-tip sliced sandwiches out here, maybe the most popular item in CA. I think 1/4 lb per serving is reasonable as well. I happen to like sliced pork loin sandwiches as well.

You can buy boneless turkey breast at Sam's ~ 5 pounds. Cook up nice and easy to slice. Don't do whole turkeys, too much hassle and waste.

If you have tri-tip where you are that is great grub. I carmelize onions w/brown sugar & mushrooms and serve that on the tri-tip on nice rolls and a little mayo.

Greendriver · 03-09-2010, 12:24 PM

try a big ol boneless beef shoulder clod (about 20 lbs ea). slices great and taste even better.

BigBellyBBQ · 03-10-2010, 08:05 PM

you have some good ideas from experienced cooks, watch your internal meat temps, top round I pull off at 122 to 128*, pork loin and turkey breast pull out at 160* boston butts for slicing remove at 185* but let all rest for several hours before slicing..make em nice and thin!

jbrink01 · 03-10-2010, 08:09 PM

Don't overlook eye of round. Sliced thin, red onion, horsey sauce and bread / butter chips.

I've cooked pork loins for out office a couple of times. I usually ask the secretary to pick up 2 pork loins, each at least 7 lbs each or a total of 14 lbs minimum. The first time she bought them, it was almost exactly 14 lbs of raw meat.

We have 40 people in the office and I can get 40 slices out of each loin, but I can't tell you how much the sandwich weighed. I can tell you that 2 slices made a nice sandwich.
