Beefsteak Tomato Plant

Beefsteak tomatoes are a classic favorite among gardeners and chefs alike, celebrated for their substantial size, meaty texture, and rich flavor. These tomatoes are ideal for slicing, making them perfect for sandwiches, burgers, and fresh salads.

Beefsteak tomato plants are indeterminate, meaning they continue to grow and produce fruit throughout the growing season. They can reach heights of 6 to 8 feet and require sturdy support, such as stakes, cages, or trellises, to manage their vigorous growth and the weight of their large fruits. 

The fruits are notably large, often weighing between 10 ounces to 2 pounds. They have a round, somewhat flattened shape with light ribbing and a vibrant red color. The flesh is dense and juicy, with small seed cavities, making them excellent for slicing.

Beefsteak tomatoes typically reach maturity in about 85 days from transplanting, making them a mid-to-late-season variety. 

The large, meaty fruits of Beefsteak tomatoes are perfect for slicing and are commonly used in sandwiches, burgers, and salads. Their rich flavor also makes them suitable for sauces and salsas.
