How much beef Wellington do I need for 8 people?
I’m planning to make beef Wellington for my birthday and would like to know how much meat I should buy to feed eight people. I’m also serving plenty of sides to help balance the cost of the Wellington. Thank you!
For a Beef Wellington serving 8 people, you’ll typically want around 2 to 2.5 pounds of beef tenderloin (also known as filet mignon). This should provide a generous portion per person, especially since you’re serving plenty of sides to accompany the main dish.
If you want to be more precise, aim for about 6 to 8 ounces of beef per person, which would land you in the 3 to 4-pound range if you expect hearty appetites. However, since you’re serving sides and want to keep the cost in check, sticking to the 2 to 2.5 pounds should work perfectly. Enjoy your birthday celebration and cooking!
