Answer 1

One of the things that separates humans from animals is the ability to use fire to cook our food. Forget that bloody meat stuff and do this: sear your 1 and a half to 2 inch filets in the pan, 4 minutes on each side. Then in a 425 degree oven for 20 minutes. This will give you medium well, just a bit of pink, and much less risk of infection.

I know people will say they've eaten steak and sushi for years and they're fine, but I have several nurses and doctors in the family and I know the reports that people don't talk much about when it comes to the rate of infection from undercooked foods.
