| From UK Food Standards Agency website. “ Why a burger isn't like a steak Harmful bacteria can be carried on the surface of whole cuts of meat. When a rare steak is seared these bacteria are killed, making the steak safe to eat. When meat is minced to produce burgers, any harmful bacteria from the surface of the raw meat spread throughout the burger. Unless the burger is cooked right through, these bacteria can remain alive on the inside. This applies to ALL burgers, including burgers made from good quality or expensive meat. That's why a burger needs to be served well done, while a steak can be served rare.” |
