The U.S. Department of Agriculture 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. For well done 170°F (77ºC). All cook times shown are after 2 minutes of preheating.
