Assuming you do not want ground beef, a chuck potroast is about the least expensive sliced beef dish. A boneless chuck clod weighs about 25-28 pounds and is good for 50 people if you slice and serve it- add another 10% if it is self serve. You want a slow cook roast with a rich mushroom and onion gravy- make at least 1/3 cup gravy per person. See the beef roasting page in the holiday cooking section for roasting help.
You need to look at the appetizer planning page and veggie tray page for guidance on those items.
