Question

I just ate a medium rare steak it . is there a possibility that i got e coli ?

Answer 1

Its highly unlikely...I wouldn't worry

Answer 2

no

Answer 3

I eat my steak medium rare all the time. I have never been sick. If your not use to it, it might give you a upset stomach. I doubt you would get poisoned.=)

Answer 4

Very unlikely.  E-coli is found on the surface of meat.  When you cook a steak any bacteria on it is either weakened or killed.  The problem with e-coli and beef is hamburger because the meat is ground.  This mixes the outside of the cut of meat that has the bacteria with the inside.  That's why the only way to be absolutely safe with hamburger is to cook it thoroughly.  

Answer 5

You'll know in a few hours

Answer 6

Yes but your chances are SO slim that it's less of a chance of pigs flying while the Broncos win a game, so you'll be fine. e-coli is found more aften in poultry (chicken, turkey, etc...). There is a dish called Steak Tartar that is raw steak mixed with spices and stuff. People don't even get sick from that...

Answer 7

i like my steak very rare, i only cook it for like 5 minutes. 2½ minutes on each side. i've never gotten sick from eating it. but if i were you i would check to see if there were any food recalls on that particular steak you got from the store you bought it from.
