This huge heirloom beefsteak can reach up to 4 pounds, but averages about 2 1/2 pounds and consistently wins taste-tests.
Developed in the 1930s by a gardener who planted the four biggest varieties he knew and crossed one with pollen from the other three. He did this for six seasons and created a variety that produced immense, tasty fruit. He sold the plants for $1 a piece and paid off his $6000 mortgage in 6 years. Indeterminate, 82 days.
