Hello Snowboar and welcome!
 
With the Summer we are having, you have agood chance of growing beefsteak tomatoes outside. I would restrict the plant to three trusses of fruit only, and remove leaves that look tired or shade the tomatoes to ensure there is a good air flow around them.
Given the weight of a truss of fruit, I would put in a supporting cane for each of the stems you have and tie these carefully to them. Personally I would remove any further stems so the plant focusses son the developing fruit. Feed weekly and water regularly.

I hope that helps
