It's not just how old it is, it's how and where it was prepared. Mince ground in industrial slaughterhouses will have faecal matter in it, no question. Steak that is ground/chopped in a clean kitchen will not.

That's why you should always get your hamburger medium to medium rare unless you know a lot about the supply chain.

I'd say medium as a de minimis unless I knew exactly how it had been prepared. Burgers = Sausages and I wouldn't eat a medium rare sausage

Have to disagree ..the problem with under cooked burgers is that the meat is mixed up..a steak is whole.
The heat needed doesn't get into mixed up burger meat.

Top chefs seem to agree with more cooking of burgers..I'll go by that

Sous vide burgers work well - low enough temp for medium rare, long enough time to pasteurise.

A friend went into a Wetherspoons and asked for his steak medium rare.
I'm sorry, said the waiter, we're out of medium rare.

Strangely, that is perfectly possible, if the steaks are pre-cooked sous vide, chilled and held for service.

Had ribeye at lunch, lots of salt and lots of pepper on both sides. Knob of butter and 60 seconds each side. Served with spinach and curly fries.

These lads are for later in the week :smile:
Will bash them a bit with an upturned rolling pin (don't have a proper mallet).
Season them and bring to room temperature.
Then fry them, Mr m likes a pink steak and I like "no blood"
I test them while cooking by sticking a sharp knife in, to see if red or pink "stuff" appears (own technical method).
Will either be "tornado steak" cooked with garlic and bacon or with my own sauce, a Diane meets Stroganoff hybrid.
:hungry:
