One of the many highlights of staying on a mountain ranch in California like Rankin Ranch is that we provide delicious and hearty meals for our guests. Breakfast and dinner are served in the dining room, and you will want to attend them. One of the best reasons to join everyone for dinner is to try our high-quality, local beef. Here’s what you should know about Rankin Beef and the best mountain ranch in California.
Meals On The Ranch
Each evening when the dinner bell rings at 6:30 p.m., guests enter the dining room to find candle-lit tables, linens, and fresh flowers. Salads are prepared and served at your table, and a delicious buffet dinner follows. Everybody loves our home-cooked meals with fresh vegetables, top-quality meats, homemade slices of bread, and desserts. We will treat you to breakfast, lunch, and dinner while you are here.
Rankin Beef
For meat lovers, beef is one of the highlights of your meals here at the ranch and highlighted in many of our favorite dishes. This includes Beef Stroganoff, Sunday BBQ Hamburgers, Oven Deep Pit, Tamale Pie, and Bill Rankin’s favorite Osso Buco. Our recipes have been gathered through many generations of the Rankin family and friends and can be found in the family cookbook, A Taste of Rankin Ranch Tradition, by Helen Rankin with Glenda Rankin.
Our family has been raising cattle in Kern County for over 150 years, and we are proud to offer high-quality, local beef from our Ranch to your table. The cattle graze on the mountains at our family-owned Ranch surrounding Walker Basin. They are then finished on grain at a family-owned feedlot in Bakersfield. All our beef is aged for 21 days before being finished into delicious cuts for you to enjoy. In addition to enjoying our beef while at the ranch, you can have it shipped right to your home. We offer steaks, roasts, ground beef, and other specialty cuts. Our beef is all-natural, and the cattle have never been given antibiotics or hormones.
