beefsteak tomato

Large red fruit

A beefsteak tomato is a large, meaty variety of tomato with a slightly flattened shape and dense flesh.

Beefsteaks are prized for slicing—their size and texture make them ideal for sandwiches and burgers.

They tend to have fewer seed cavities than other varieties: a thick slice of beefsteak tomato with salt and pepper.
