I dunno. It's almost impossible to identify a red beefsteak tomato by sight since there are thousands of varieties that match that description. But I will say those tomatoes look like tomatoes should.

I don't know what kind they are, but every time I reached into my screen to grab a few a big hairy hand swatted mine! :-)

I'd eat the tomatoes and those peppers next door, too!

Inside looks like this:

No Green shoulders.
Uniform in size.
3 to 4 inches.
Minor radial cracking.
Deep red inside, orange-red outside.
Not smooth enough to be Domata.
