This. I just can't do medium rare ground beef. It's not right!

Long Chile was a silly place.

A touch of pink is tasty if you know where the meat came from but if you go with a fattier, cheaper mix and cook it well done then no big deal.

Since we're trying to use up all of our ground bear right now, it all gets cooked well the fuck the done. Nobody wants trich.

I should have clarified "store bought ground beef". I agree if you know where it came from, a bit of pink is fine. Maybe it's just me but I think of medium rare burger as something like this:



Which I find to be repulsive, no matter where the fucking beef came from.

Maybe.... I would consider that not fucking cooked.

If you eat raw chicken or pork you will get sick 100% of the time. Most of the time you can eat raw beef without any problem. There is always a chance your beef is contaminated but we cook beef as a precaution. If you get a bad piece of beef with say E. Coli and you don't cook it at least medium well than chances are you will get sick; possibly very sick. Is it worth the risk? Most people I know don't cook their steaks medium well because it doesn't taste as good to them so they are taking a chance. There is always a slight risk but everyone should decide if they are willing to take a slight risk to have a steak the way they like it. I would point out that hamburger is riskier to eat raw. Often large amounts of beef are ground at the same time and if any of the pieces of beef are contaminated the whole batch could be contaminated. The odds of cheap hamburger meat being contaminated are probably 100 times higher than the odds of a steak being contaminated. That is why a lot of people insist on cooking hamburgers until they have no pink at all.

Cooking a ribeye past medium rare is a sin in my house.

If I left my wife to her own devices, I would have to learn to love blue rare steaks and under cooked potatoes. I have since taken over the cooking!

Or any type of meat. It used to be that well done was the standard for cooking meat. Thankfully we've moved out of the dark ages.

Guess you've never had steak tartar you heathen

That is rare to raw. I wouldn't fucking eat that

Unfortunately, steak tartar is not an option on our ration cards up here in canuckistan!
