first of all, why do I have to tell the chef how to make the steak? “medium rare”? “well done”? those are words made up by wizards or something. second of all I don’t like how they taste. they’re super expensive and they just taste so boring. chicken goated steak boring. I’m in my early 20s so I’m getting used to some “acquired taste” things slowly like wine and coffee but steak is still so bland.

    so “undercooked” hamburger (red in the middle) can have pathogens introduced during the grinding process from exposure to the ambient air and unsanitized surfaces.

    Rare beef tends to have enough cysts already in it that you wouldn’t want to eat rare beef - for example the primary method of infection of toxoplasma gondii in humans is eating undercooked meat

    The cysts themselves are tiny, like 25 micrometres (0.001 inches) so you can’t really tell if they’re there
