Best Answer

As the meat is ground up, it is more subject to bacteria as it is pushed through the grinder. With the bacteria in the meat, if the hamburger is not cooked thoroughly a person could get sick from the harmful bacteria that enter the human's digestive tract. However beef steak is not ground up, it is simply cut from the carcass and wrapped, which implies that a steak should be cooked well on the outside, but in the inside it is perfectly fine if it is cooked rare to medium rare.

A piece of meat has only the outer surface that can be contaminated. By it's very nature, minced beef is made up of small pieces of meat, and every one of them may have been contaminated in some way.

Yes and no. Steak is a type cut of beef, and beef is meat (or muscle tissue, depending on how you look at it) from cattle. Essentially what I'm trying to say is that steak is beef, but beef is not steak.
