Beefsteak Tomato Burger

Once upon a time, a famous TV commercial asked, "Where's the beef?" According to Beefsteak, the 2015 answer is, "outta here!" The eponymous Beefsteak Burger forgoes the patty entirely. With a bulky slice of beefsteak tomato in the spotlight, the burger returns the meatless concept back to its literal definition as a burger of veggies. The tomato-centric burger gets fresh with sprouts, pickled red onions, caper herb mayonnaise and olive oil between a pillowy olive oil brioche bun. For a heartier fix, you can add avocado, egg, cheese, or meat. It's a handful and a mouthful that syncs with another, more recent TV commercial—the one that shows sexualized burgers as seductive, oozing, juicy messes. As Beefsteak aspires to bring sexy back to vegetables, its drippy, awkwardly luscious Beefsteak Burger is fully in character.
