That doesn’t make sense. It’s beef.

If you can serve a steak medium, then you can also grind the steak, cook it medium and serve it.

Then you get bacteria in the ground part, potentially, whereas a steak will be cooked on all the exposed surfaces.

Um, it’s beef. It can be eaten raw. Ever heard of carpaccio?!?

Only two reasons to ever cook beef: (1) taste (2) quality

The exterior of a cut can be seared and then trimmed off to get a safe chunk of raw beef.

A whole steak doesn't contain pathogens deep within, only on the surface, which is why ground beef is different situation entirely.
