Is this pinkish steak safe to eat? *pic*

That's medium-well. Just the way I like it!

With steak, the intermal temperature doesn't matter. The harmful bacteria cannot penetrate the surface of the meat. As long as the outside layer comes to 160 degrees, you're fine. And the outside layer hits that temperature like 10 seconds after hitting the grill.

Hamburger and other ground beef products need to be cooked through because they are ground up and processed. The bacteria still can't penetrate beyond the outer layer of the meat, even in ground, but since that "outer layer" is all mashed through the meat during the grinding, you need to cook all of a burger or cube steak to that 160 degrees.

Hey, if you're content with drinking your steak that's fine with me. It's just SICK! 🙂

if you eat your steak cooked anything over medium you might as well just eat cardboard

That's absolute nonsense. A nice 13oz cooked medium-well with a buttery wine sauce is LOADED with flavor. It's not cooked enough to lose all of its natural juices but it's not dripping like some nasty meat slab. Perfect. Making myself hungry just talking about it 🙁. Served with some cheddar mashed potatoes with chives...

I've had pinker! 🙂

edit: I ate this and I'm still alive.

We have a saying here in alberta for our steak, the redder the better. I honestly enjoy a steak if it is still bleeding on the plate!

Very rare is what they call it I believe!!!

I only eat between very rare and medium rare!!!!!

 

[DarkKnight69]

But then again with a AAA alberta top sirloin, I can eat it without cooking it and have!!

Best beef made!!!!

I had a steak two days ago that was the rarest I've ever had. The inside was completely uncooked, and the outside had just a layer of char. It looked like the very rare picture in DarkKnight's link. I like mine cooked as the rare picture shows, but this very rare was very good as well. I just prefer, however, to have it just a tad step above totally raw. I was fine, by the way. Steak rarely gets you sick if ever.
