How do you grow beefsteak tomatoes?
For example there are plum tomatoes which are often the base for pasta sauces and are often found in canned tomato products like the bougie brand San Marzano. There are cherry tomatoes — one of the main ingredients in the viral feta pasta dish. And how about cocktail tomatoes? Their quick cooking time and sweet flavor make them great for roasting and in salads.
Then there’s the supreme tomato: the beefsteak tomato. Known for its large size and firm interior this tomato has probably caught your eye in the vegetable aisle. But how did it get its name and in which recipes does it work best?
When you cut into a beefsteak tomato you’ll likely see several small seed chambers and large sections of tough inner walls branching out from the center. That’s because beefsteak tomatoes have noticeably smaller cavities that house the plant’s seeds and signature jelly-like substance than other varieties.
