The USDA states, “Rare fresh beef is popular, but you should know that cooking
it to only 140 °F/60 °C means some food poisoning organisms may survive.”
(Source: Safe Food Book, Your Kitchen Guide, USDA Rev. June 1985.) The lowest
temperature recommended by the USDA is 145 °F/63 °C for medium rare fresh
beef.
