Beef can be contaminated with several types of bacteria, with Escherichia coli (E. coli), particularly the strain O157:H7, and Salmonella being among the most common. Other bacteria such as Listeria monocytogenes and Campylobacter can also be present. These pathogens can cause foodborne illnesses if the beef is not cooked or handled properly. Proper cooking and food safety practices are essential to minimize the risk of infection.

Why do beef sausages and minced beef have to be cooked more than beef steak?

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.
