This article is part of a round-up on local Los Angeles holiday food gifts - products made right here in Southern California that make perfect holiday gifts for the foodies in your life. There's no better way to support our local farmers and artisan food makers this holiday season.

Looking for a holiday gift for the meat-lovers in your life? Brandt Beef is a single-family-owned producer of premium natural beef. Brandt ranches its cattle in Brawley (in the Imperial Valley, south of Palm Springs and east of San Diego). The beef is processed in Pico Rivera at the last remaining USDA harvesting facility in Los Angeles County, using traditional, artisanal processing practices.

Brandt beef is available online from Dean & Deluca. Try the BBQ Brisket Package ($95), which includes nine pounds of uncooked, natural Brandt Brisket and 18 ounces of Blender’s Original Barbecue Sauce. Or, perfect for your holiday meal, there's the Private Reserve Standing Rib Roast ($275), a five-bone, nearly 10-pound premium rib roast.
