You would be surprised at how much of a whole primal*, or even a cut of beef, can be contaminated by urinary or fecal matter, not to mention regurgetated food and bile.
That plus possible contamination by grease, dirt, and about any known pathogen.
Not to mention blood clots, grub worm infestations, fatty tumors and cancerous tumors.
And that's the me ...[text shortened]... ed into primal cuts. These are basic sections from which steaks and other subdivisions are cut.
How hot do you have to cook it to evaporate the fatty or cancerous tumors?

I'm just saying you never know for sure what's on the inside, until you're there.
CAT scans of sides of beef would help, but give me a break. 🙂
You are right also about ground beef, not only is the outside mixed with the inside, ground beef has a greater surface area, and beef decays from the outside inward. "Store trim,' or the meatwith fat or membranes ( silver skin is a term butchers use} trimmed off with when making cube steak or stew meat, is mostly the outside, so it decays very rapidly. Turning dark in 24-48 hours usually. Ground beef made from only the inside meat will stay bright for almost twice as long.
It's great to banter and chat with you as always. 🙂
* You know, like surgery, remove the "bad stuff." Trim and throw away dark meat, hemorrhaged meat, dirty meat, gross stuff in meat, and the surrounding area.
