Beefsteak plant is generally considered easy to care for, thriving in well-draining soil with consistent moisture. Special attention should be paid to light requirements, as beefsteak plant prefers full sun to partial shade. Overwintering can be challenging where not hardy, so in cooler climates, it's best grown as an annual or moved indoors before the first frost.
