Find the in between sizes then like Celebrity and Roma. Big Beef steak are hard to grow past May. You need to plant them early and enjoy them March through early May.

ETA: I'd plant a couple cherry tomatoes just to see how they do. If they are growing fine, and I know all varieties are different, but then you are doing something right. It may be the heat or something out of your control with the Beef steaks.

Beefsteaks are also MUCH more dependent on consistent water. Too much water and they break open and rot, too little water and they won't produce past flowers. Cherries and smaller varieties just go go go.
