What's so special about beef that humans can basically eat it raw and not get sick?
gpt
Most harmful bacteria that will contaminate beef requires oxygen so it's only alive on the outside of your steak. Searing the outside and leaving the inside raw kills the baddies on the outside while the inside was already fine.

Also that's why you're supposed to cook hamburger more because once ground up the bacteria is spread throughout the patty not just the outside like a steak.
