A standard British English term for a large, fleshy variety of tomato — the type with thick walls and a meaty texture, typically used in sandwiches and salads where a substantial slice is needed. Not slang; simply the British name for what Americans might call a beefsteak tomato. The name reflects the tomato's size and dense flesh.
She bought a couple of beef tomatoes at the market to slice thick for the burgers.
