I don’t need to cook my steak that much though, right?Updated 8 months ago

It’s up to you! Always! 

Food cooked at home does not need to meet the legal serving standard - it’s always considered “at your own risk.”

And these (USDA standards included in SafeCook) are guidelines, intended to give you information, not limit your cooking! 

The most popular way to cook steak is medium rare.

That will NEVER meet the USDA Food Safe Simplified standard. 

Steak is one of the safest foods to eat because it’s a whole muscle cut and beef is generally not at a high risk for exposure to salmonella.

You probably won’t get sick, even if you eat it raw (tartare). Your caveman lifestyle is not in danger.
