Beefsteak is the name we give those huge, ribbed, sandwich‑sized tomatoes, and this old strain delivers slabs of meaty, juicy flesh with classic tomato tang. Fruits can top a pound, so stake strongly and prune lightly. Slice thick, sprinkle salt, that’s dinner. Tomatoes bring lycopene and vitamin C; this one brings abundance. Start early, keep moisture even to prevent cracks, and share—one fruit feeds a crowd.

Start seed indoors 5-7 weeks before last frost. Provide plants with plenty of light to avoid tall, spindly tomato transplants. A sunny south-facing window or grow lights will be sufficient. A heat mat helps to speed up the germination process. Optimum soil temperature for seed germination is 65-85 degrees. A few weeks before transplanting time, harden off plants by exposing them to an increasing number of hours outdoors each day. Delay transplanting until your soil has thoroughly warmed up in the spring; usually about 2 weeks after the your average last frost date. Set transplants in the ground and cover stem so that only 2-3 sets true leaves are exposed, resulting in a stronger root system.
