Detailed explanation-1: -Unlike a rare steak, a rare burger is risky because the germs from the outside of the meat have been ground inside. Lower temperatures require longer hold times.
Detailed explanation-2: -To eliminate this risk, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics says ground meat needs to reach 160 degrees Fahrenheit to be safe to eat, which would make it well done. If you’re eating it rare, there’s a chance there’s bacteria present. On the flip side, you can still enjoy your steaks rare.
Detailed explanation-3: -A steak has bacteria on theoutsidewhich is immediately killed when you throw it in a hot skillet or grill. When beef is ground, you essentially chop or grind up all the surface area, and the bacteria sitting on the surface is brought into the meat and distributed throughout.
