I have no problem with Steak Tartare. It is often served in some of the
finer restaurants.

One needs to consider and understands how commercial beef is processed

The primary danger in ground beef contamination is e-coli which comes from
the stomach and digestive tract. If the beef is properly sectioned the loin
and sirloin sections from which the meat for Steak Tartare should be made
will never come in contact with that part of the steer.

By the same token if you grind your own beef there is no problem with a rare
burger or a rare steak.
