    While watching late today during the Rastelli's rib  steak demonstration with Alberti, noted the man  cutting the cooked steaks  , decided to cut a raw one in half  since Alberti says that 1/2 of a steak is enough for him & Rachel B.  Problem was that the Rastelli's  Rep took the same  knife and fork that he cut the raw one with to  cut pieces of the  cooked steak. Then Alberti ate a piece  of the steak cut with the contaminated  utensils. 

 He ought to be glade that  Chef  Gordon Ramsay who yells was not there  to tell him people can get e coli poisonings  that way.

None of those cooking shows with meat are cooked long enough for me.  I want well done. More of a chicken and turkey person anyway.

Beef, unlike pork or poultry can be eaten raw or just warmed up...rare.

The best cuts of beef are eaten very rare.

Unless the utensils were used to cut raw chicken or pork beforehand and not washed, it was safe to use them for eating the cooked steak after cutting the raw steak.

      Yes, some eat steak Tar Tar  , but one does so at their own risk like very rare steak or burgers

 "Bacterial Contamination: Raw beef can harbor harmful bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella, which can lead to foodborne illnesses. Cooking meat thoroughly is the best way to kill these pathogens. Parasites: Consuming raw or undercooked beef can expose individuals to parasites like tapeworms. "

Also who knows as to  if that raw piece of steak had been properly refrigerated  or left out for a while under hot studio lights

Steak Tartare was famously featured in "Wall Street" with Bud and Gordon dining at The 21 Club.   

"Try the steak tartare.   It's off the menu.  Louis will fix it for you."

It was a big thing in the 1980s.

I would eat beef that was cut with a knife used on raw beef if it was a good product and properly stored and handled, But for me steak tartare is a no.  It is prepared with raw eggs...no way.

I always think the meat demonstrations on the Q the meat looks raw.  Pork and chicken better be done for me and I like my steak with a little pink inside so I guess  medium well.

I prefer mine just past raw!!!

Still here, never been sick.

NOOO--you have to use a clean knife/fork--in my world!! I never ever re -use utencils that I have used for raw meats on cooked meats---I always use clean ones--same with plates that raw meat sit on --always use clean ones to use after the meats are cooked--always!!! and even more picky about things used for poultry-----believe me--just 1 case of food poisoning cured me of that horrible habit!!!!

Mike Rastelli is no dummy when it comes to meat handling safety.  It's beef, so it's ok. This doesn't faze me in the least.  Chicken or pork would be a different story.
