why is it ok to eat steak undercooked (rare) and other meats are not safe?
In: Other
bacteria lives on the surface of meat, and ground meat means that bacteria can end up ground up inside the burger you’re about to eat. You have to cook the meat all the way through to be sure you killed the bacteria!
a steak would only have bacteria on the surface, and as long as the surface is cooked to a reasonable temperature you’ll kill off the bacteria.
