Tomato Big Beef – Hybrid Italian Beefsteak

Bred in 1994 by Colleen Wayatt, Big Beef was introduced as a disease-resistant improvement of the classic Beefsteak tomato. It quickly became a favorite of home gardeners for its reliability, productivity, and unbeatable flavor.

• Fruit: Large, hefty tomatoes up to 4 inches across, mostly globe-shaped with a gently flattened base. The flesh is bright red, firm yet juicy, with a smooth, meaty texture.

• Flavor: A rich, sweet tomato taste that balances depth and juiciness—remarkably delicious for such a big-fruited variety.

• Best Uses: Outstanding for fresh eating, salads, and sandwiches, where its size, texture, and vibrant flavor shine. A true classic slicing tomato.

• Growth Habit: Vigorous, tall plants that require sturdy staking or caging to hold the heavy clusters. Each plant can yield up to 20 giant fruits over the season.

• Harvest: Mid-season bearer—here in Canada, you can expect your first ripe harvest by late August.

The Big Beef delivers the look, taste, and versatility of the traditional beefsteak, but with modern improvements that make it hardier, more productive, and easier to grow.
