It’s medium rare steak. What else am I supposed to be seeing here?

Nah, I get it. I have very real germaphobia and trusting some random college to cook safe food makes me go 😬. But rest assured, beef can sometimes literally be eaten raw safely, and basically all of the scary bacteria (E. Coli) would be on the outside where it was cut, because it doesn’t come from the flesh itself but from touching the same knife that touched the guts. So the inside is probably ok as long as the outside is cooked. You’d be alright, beef is the safest raw meat outside of fish.

Nothing in the photo would imply that we would get E. coli from this.

Undercooked meat is a main source of ecoli.

It’s in no way undercooked. It falls between rare to med-rare (both are *perfectly* safe in modern prep) If you’re referring to the dark-red spot in the lower-third, that’s a small vein. These usually just stay dark sometimes. It doesn’t imply the meat isn’t cooked.

That’s still how you get ecoli, it should have at least just a warm pink center. If you look up the stories of people who die from and suffer ecoli it’s a horrendous and painful disease.

The whole inside of it looks raw. It’s not worth the risk

You need to google a “steak doneness” chart.

It doesn’t matter if the inside “looks raw” almost all of the bacteria is on the outside of the steak. That’s why you can eat a blue steak it’s the same reason you shouldn’t eat burgers or ground beef that’s undercooked unless you know where the meat came from and how well the animal was treated before slaughter

I would rather just be safe and cook it all the way than risk being in the hospital for a month pooping myself and then potentially dying

It’s okay that you’re uneducated on the matter and you’ve fallen into this belief that food is so dangerous. I feel bad for you honestly because you’re missing out on so many different ways of cooking but enjoy your shoe leather of a steak.

Thanks I will. And I hope that you can find someone to change your diapers and clean your puke bucket when you get ecoli :)

ur not getting E coli. from a medium rare steak, its more likely to come from ground beef since the harmful bacteria is on the outside of the meat

You absolutely are at risk of ecoli.
