Raw beef steak can be safe to eat IF (with emphasis) they meet some guidelines. But, it’s true that you should not eat pork or chicken steak, whether raw or rare. Salmonella bacteria<\/a> and his crew are the killjoys for weight loss enthusiasts who like the idea of raw steak diets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a chef, pitmaster, and meat health enthusiast, I can assure you that you can eat raw steak. But it all comes down to the part of the animal it comes from, the processing, and where you’re getting the raw steak from. These are variables that I can’t vouch for. I wouldn\u2019t ask you to ditch cooked meat for raw meat. The downsides far outweigh the benefits.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, should you be worried when tasting or eating raw steak dishes? Even if you still want to go ahead with it, what kind of steak can be eaten raw? In this article, you’ll find answers to many of your questions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can You Eat Steak Rare or Raw?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you get a good cut of beef<\/a> from the butcher or wherever you are, you can eat rare or raw steak dishes. However, the complete opposite applies to steak from pork and poultry! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

None of these can be eaten raw or even rare. The risk of getting sick with salmonella and other microorganisms would be too high here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beef steak can be taken raw or rare. And they’re rich in enzymes, proteins, and Vitamin B, and your immune system will thank you. But opinions are mixed here. Some nutritionists say these benefits are UNPROVEN<\/u><\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guidelines to a Raw Steak Diet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First rule: avoid buying meat that has already been ground. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, get some good cuts of beef (tenderloin, sirloin, etc.) from your butcher. Tell him you want to make a steak tartare so he can offer you his freshest meat. Then, chop the meat yourself using a very clean knife. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grinding the meat yourself is really the best way to avoid the spread of bacteria since it is during the passage through the grinder that they tend to increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s needless to say but it would be best if you didn’t choose old steaks that are out of date. That’s how you get sick after getting loads of salmonella, E. Coli, and staphylococcus aureus into your system when you eat raw steak dishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
