‘Big Beef’ is an award-winning hybrid beefsteak tomato and 1994 All-America Selections Winner prized for combining old-fashioned tomato flavor with modern productivity. Large 10- to 12-ounce fruits are smooth and uniform, with firm, meaty flesh and a satisfying balance of sweetness and acidity.
Start ‘Big Beef’ indoors for transplanting. Plant seeds about ¼ inch deep, space plants 24 to 36 inches apart, and grow in full sun. Vigorous indeterminate plants are noted for disease resistance and consistent yields.
Ready to harvest in about 73 days, begin picking fruits as they reach full size and mature color.
Rich, meaty, and balanced, ‘Big Beef’ is especially well suited to slicing.
