A rare steak is considered a good delicacy, but the quality of the meat must be exceptional.

It is important to understand that raw meat can be harmful to health, as it contains quite a lot of harmful microorganisms.

For example, campylobacter, salmonella, clostridium perfringens and e. coli, as well as Yersinia, may be present.

So you need to think ten times before you eat a rare steak.
