Burgers are ground beef and should never be cooked anything less than well done. Its just not safe. With a steak all the dangerous bacteria is on the surface so you can cook it less. If you grind it you introduce the same bacteria into the inside of the pattie so it far less safe so have medium rare or any less than cooked through burger

I dunno sounds like the beef is of shitty quality.

You’re getting downvoted but what about beef tartar?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

Delicious just like Mett (raw finely minced pork)

Never had it, but I've had filet americain , which is like a Belgian/Dutch steak tartare, and it's surprisingly delicious. Reminds me a bit of liverwurst.

The last (and only) time I remember reading about filet americain is from this comic from like 2009. Kinda makes me not want to try it 😆

I've heard this said many times, and I'm sure there's truth to it. Raw meat needs to be treated carefully because the risk exists.

I'm not sure the risk is as severe as this comment suggests, though since many cultures have a version of raw minced beef like this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steak_tartare

The bacteria reside in the surface of the meat, which is why you can pretty much briefly sear the outside of a steak and have it bloody in the middle and be fine.

If you grind up the meat, it's all surface now.

That wiki mentions it has become less common due to all the potential health issues. If you do the mincing at the time you prepare the meal, it's likely less of an issue. But making this from US ground bread out of a carton, you're asking for trouble.

Tartare is cut from inner muscles, less likely to have any infections etc.

It's also sold separately from ordinary minced meat.

It’s also supposed to be consumed within 15-30 minutes of being prepared if memory serves.

It's also frozen at some point which does kill most of the bacteria

The level of risk is not quite that severe for healthy individuals. People at high risk certainly shouldn't take any chances, though.

I think you're more likely to get injured in a car accident than have an issue from eating a medium burger.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

you say that as if it's difficult to get injured in a car accident

Freshly butchered and grinded, with grinder very regularly cleaned, then it should be reasonable safed. The question is, how well do you trust the cooks to keep everything well cleaned.

Lol, no
