Yes, as long as they are both cooked thoroughly. Many meat loaf recipes call for a combination of beef and pork sometimes along with veal to make the meatloaf more moist and flavorful. I use the same combination in meat balls for the same reason.

∙ 9y agoWell, since raw pork must be cooked very well, beef should not contaminate it, as long as the person who is eating it is not allergic to beef. The more common contaminants (and I'm referring to parasites) in beef would be killed by the cooking that is necessary for making pork edible. HOWEVER, I do know of one exception: Mad Cow Disease. Cooking does not "kill" it because it is not a parasite and is not alive. However this is very, very rare and you must eat the contaminated portions of the meat to get it. The prions (damaged proteins) that "infect" you are present mostly in brain, ground products, and some luncheon meats, though the muscle can contain the prions as well.
Since it is still unclear how much prion you have to eat to get sick, I cannot tell you whether a speck of brain from a mad cow that touched pork, which then was washed off would kill you. But E. coli and any other bacteria or parasites will be killed with the heat that it will take to kill the worms that live in pork. I do not know of any other contaminant in beef that cooking won't remove...except of course for all the nasty FDA approved chemicals that the beef industry pumps into their cattle.

Should raw steak smell like egg?
No. It should smell like raw beef - if it is a beef steak. Or pork, if it is a pork steak. And so on.
Can you mix pork and beef if its allready cooked?
Actually, that's probably the safer way to do it. Pork and beef will have different cook times and temperatures, and combining them after they've been cooked allows each one to be aequately cooked.

At what temperature do you cook sausages and beef burgers on the BBQ?
For safety, 160F in both cases unless you know where it came from. Sausages and burgers ground from good quality meat can be cooked to 115-160F for beef and 140-160F for pork. 115F beef will be rare, almost raw, while 140F pork will still be pink in the middle.
Can boxer dogs eat beef?
Yes. But not raw, the beef has to be cooked. Not to much beef at one time either.
What if you ate pork with used marinade poured over it?
You can only use the marinade if it was cooked with the pork. The marinade would have raw pork in it and you'd get very ill if you used it unless it was cooked
