Your orange beefsteak shows what is called radial cracking since rays come out from the stem end. And it's a gentic trait of certain varieties.
The other kind of splitting is called circular, and shows splits that circle around the stem
A third kind of splitting is different from the above and is called horizontal splitting and can occur for various reasons..
