The link above actually loads a page which says:

Rare steak 'is safe to eat'

Steak ready for sale
Meat can become contaminated during the butchery process

Eating rare steak will not cause food poisoning if kitchen utensils used to cook it are kept clean, it is claimed.

University of Nottingham scientists spiked steak samples with E.coli bacteria, then cooked them rare.

The bacteria only survived where the steaks were touched by utensils that were not cleaned after being used to handle raw meat, researchers found.

The study dispels the myth that eating rare steak is in itself unsafe, the Meat and Livestock Commission said.

Yeah, there are several people here who like their steak rare, that's why I posted it.

I'm a rare steak guy, and have never had any gastric problems as a result. And in France I've eaten steak cooked "bleu" or blue - which means that the chef threatened the steak with the stove and then just put it on the plate. Then of course steak carpaccio, which is basically thin strips of raw sirloin lightly marinaded.

Yummy
