If you grind your own meat from steak, you can cook it less than store-bought ground beef
Home-ground meat from steak can be cooked to lower temps than store-bought ground meat, per the video.
The video notes that if you grind your own steak, a medium-rare burger can be safe (it references cooking to around 145°F). This is presented as a contrast to store-bought ground beef, which it recommends cooking well-done.
The short version
- Store-bought ground meat: cook thoroughly
- Home-ground from steak: can be cooked less (video references ~145°F)
Why it works
The risk profile can be lower when you control the source and handling, compared with commercial ground meat made from many parts and more processing.
