No, it is not only unnecessary to rinse meat before cooking, doing so may even cause cross-contamination. When you rinse meat, bacteria could be spread in your sink, and on anything you lay the meat on, such as counter, cutting board or dishes. Always wash surfaces raw meat has come into contact with in hot, soapy water. You can also use a spray bottle of water with a little bleach mixed in to spray and wipe down the surfaces in your kitchen once every week or so.
If you do rinse your meat, pat it dry with a paper towel. Excess moisture on meat will interfere with its beautiful browning. It won't start browning until all the water has cooked off, and that "searing" reaction needs to happen at the beginning of the cooking process to lock in juices and flavor.
When you remove the meat from its wrapping or package, dry off any excess moisture such as blood or water on its surface with a paper towel before putting it straight into the pan to brown.
Bacteria that may be on the meat when you open the package will die during cooking.
