Beefsteak Tomato Seeds
The Beefsteak tomato is a large variety that can reach up to 900 grams in weight. Its name comes from its meaty, juicy flesh, which really does resemble a beef steak.
The Beefsteak Plant
It belongs to the Solanaceae family, native to Central and South America. It has a climbing habit and indeterminate growth, and can exceed 3 metres in height.
The fruit is ribbed and irregular in shape, deep red in colour, with a sweet, aromatic flavour and very few seeds: perfect both raw and for sauces and preserves.
How to Sow Beefsteak
Direct sowing is done between March and April, once the soil has reached at least 15 degrees; alternatively, start earlier in seedbeds and transplant once temperatures are stably mild.
How to Grow Beefsteak
It prefers fertile, well-drained soil rich in organic matter, fertilised before sowing with mature manure or pelleted compost. Choose a sunny spot sheltered from strong winds.
Space plants at least 40 cm apart in the row and 100 cm between rows. Being a climbing plant, it always needs sturdy support, such as stakes or trellises, tied as it grows.
Tips for Growing Beefsteak
In pots, use a large container at least 25 cm in diameter with drainage holes. Avoid damp areas prone to waterlogging, which favour the most common fungal diseases of the species.
Diseases and Pests of Beefsteak
The main threats are downy mildew and early blight, favoured by excess humidity: prevent with base watering and good ventilation between plants. Aphids and cutworms should be controlled with targeted treatments or beneficial insects.
Properties of Beefsteak
Rich in lycopene, vitamin C and potassium, the Beefsteak tomato is a great ally for cardiovascular wellbeing. Its meaty, low-water flesh makes it perfect for gourmet burgers, bruschetta and summer salads.
