FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
You’ve Got Questions, We’ve Got Answers
HOW MUCH BEEF TENDERLOIN SHOULD I ORDER?
Suggested average serving size is 8 ounces per person (1/2 pound per person).
​
You know your guests best, so plan accordingly. Good eaters may consume 12-16 ounces.
​
Once they taste our fine meats, your guests may be wanting seconds :-)
HOW MUCH PRIME RIB SHOULD I ORDER?
Our prime rib is so good you may want to buy a whole one, but if you must know: here is the suggested serving size.
​
We recommend planning for 2 people per bone. A whole prime rib is 7 bones. The smallest that will cook as a roast is a 2 bone prime rib. So we recommend ordering from 2 to 7 bones. If you need more than 7 Bones, try to order 2 equal size smaller prime ribs.
​
Example: I have 16 people attending dinner. So I need 8 Bones. I would need to order 2 X 4 bone Prime Ribs.
