When you go to a restaurant and get a nice medium burger it’s because the restaurant is grinding its own beef (likely) so they are 100% sure it’s not contaminated. When you buy ground meat from a grocery store you have zero idea how long it’s been sitting around, and you also don’t know what’s in it. And you definitely don’t know if bacteria has started forming which is why you must cook it to 160 degrees F. Now if you grind your own meat and the cut you got is fresh you don’t have this issue. But if you go to a butcher you can talk to them and then can tell you how recently it was ground and whether or not it is safe to cook less than 160 degrees. Is there still some risk? Sure. But your local butcher is going to have wayyyy better, fresher ground beef than the grocery store and they should be happy to tell you about it. You also definitely want at least 20% fat in your beef if you want your burger juicy. Now I’m not telling you to cook your burger medium. But if you’re someone who’s gonna do that, definitely do not do that with grocery store ground beef. Go talk to your local butcher. Oh whoops I forgot to insert a bunch of jokes in the description help something must be wrong with me. Oh also: YSAC’s Spicy Relish ™©
