Supersteak Tomatoes,
March 16, 2006 Submitted byTomato lover from Hawesville, Ky
"In 50 years of gardening, this is our alltime favorite tomato. The texture, flavor and size cannot be equaled.Many tomatoes cause me problems because of excess acidity. Not supersteak, but it has true tomato flavor.I cannot find plants locally but they are worth growing. "

Consider Brandy Boy,
September 12, 2009 Submitted byTimothy from Southwest Oklahoma
"Brandy boys outproduced these in number and fruit size. Better boys and early girls outproduced as well. The lay out of my yard requires me to put my tomatoes in an area that gets some shade. I think this really hampers the production of bigger fruit varieties and may be the reason I didn't get the results that others got. This variety seemed to be really impacted as it was outproduced by everything else I had. My Brandy Boys had superior flavor and superior cracking resistance. I also have not gotten the end of season burst that I get on the other varieties after the 100+ temps relent. This plant did have good disease resistance but I think I'll be replacing next year with more Brandy Boys."

Outstanding Tomato!,
May 1, 2009 Submitted byplantman1223 from Staten Island, NY
"This plant is an overall winner! The germination rate was great, as 28 of the 30 seeds sprouted. The size was enourmous, my largest tomato in the past year reaching 1.8 lbs. without cracking! Flavorwise, its amazing taste and texture are great on sandwiches and burgers. It's unbeatable!"

BEST tomato EVER,
February 17, 2009 Submitted bySparks from Nebraska & Rio Grande Valley Tx
"I have grown this tomato since the first year that Burpee introduced it. I have ALWAYS been absolutely astounded at the GREAT flavor, quality & quantity of fruit. The perfect 10. Make sure you have TALL & very sturdy cages &/or racks. These are a super hardy plant. Twice monthly fish emulsion fertilizer &/or Miracle Grow type fertilizer works ABSOLUTE WONDERS. ENJOY"

best year in year out producer,
February 17, 2009 Submitted byruss from waynesburg ky
"I grew up on a farm,and now i'm 65.I've tried about all tomatoes out there over the years and in my humble opinion,none compare to supersteak.I grow my own plants,put down a strip of black plastic for mulch,bury the plants almost to their tops,woter them in with miracle grow,then set my cages.My cages are made from concrete reinforcing wire,five feet tall,with six inch holes.I make them two feet in diameter and anchor them down with rods.I've measured vines at years end more than thirteen and one half feet!! delicious !!"

Only Average,
January 1, 2009 Submitted byRhazz from Salt Lake City
"2008 was the first time I tried the Supersteak and I'm not too impressed. I grew it between a Burpee Big Beef and Delicious, and both really outperformed the Supersteak. The flavor and production were average compared to the others."

Tomato - Tomaato, It's all good eating!,
September 30, 2007 Submitted byHelen from Philadelphia, PA.
"I am a Container Gardener. As the summer progresses my deck becomes a vegetable jungle. Among other veggies, I purchased the 3-plant set of Supersteak Tomatoes -instead of seeds. The plants arrived in excellent condition. In May, the plants looked so little in their large containers with big tomato cages surrounding them. It's amazing by mid-August how huge the plants have grown literally hiding the tomato cage from sight. The flavor of the tomato is delicious. They make great tomato sandwiches! Most of the fruit grew as large as described in the catalog."

"I got a plant as part of the Heirloom collection. The plant itself was healthy, and in great shape. It shot up immediately, and grew to a good height. Unfortunately, of all my heirloom beefsteaks, it took the longest to grown the fruits and ripen -- in the first week of October, I pulled all the tomatoes (still green) and had to ripen them inside. The tomatoes that ripened were big and beautiful, and tasted absolutely delicious. But it was too depressing to not get a single vine-ripened one -- I guess I just don't have a long enough growing season for this one. Too bad, because other than that, it's great."

"I have used this tomato for the last 12 years ... different soil conditions ... seasons when I could give it maximum care and times when I could not. My very favorite tomato for yield and flavor. Wonderful flavor when sliced for burgers or cut up for salads ... but retains its flavor when cooked in sauces for the freezer.
The only problem I have is that our local seed suppliers don't carry it as seed and I never find it as started plants. Guess I'll just have to continue starting from seed every year. Worth it! (Don't tell Burpee but the seed has such viability that I only buy a fresh packet every 2-3 years.)"
