Do you wash your steaks before cooking?

Why do you dumbasses think that bacteria only collects on the outside part of the meat that you are able to see and wash?

Does it really make you feel better that you have washed the outside of the meat? What about the entire inside? Do you think that biology ceases to exist in your kitchen?

COOKING the meat kills the bacteria. Not washing it. Washing it only spreads it around the kitchen.
My grandma taught me that cleaning the meat has more to do with flavoring than killing bacteria
certain meats like fowl (elderly chicken) will have a gamey taste after cooking - to eliminate that taste, rinsing the meat in vinegar and marinating in lime along with other seasoning - tenderizes the meat and cuts the gamey flavor

Now I wash all meat before brining marinade or infusion - but thats because I want a consistent flavor from the surface all the way to the bone or in the case of steak all the way through

y'all haven't lived until you marinate for 2 to 3 days in jerk and then grill steak medium to medium well ;)
 
No..., I only buy my steaks from my butcher

I rinse my steak out with water,
then, I let the steak sit in apple cider vinegar,
along with various seasonings.
then i throw it into the air fryer.​
 
I wash them just before I season them. The blood on the steak is why, we don't know how long that blood has been on that steak. I wash then season them. Then I run my temperature up to sear the steaks locking in the juices. Then lower my temperature for the cook.
 
Nobody is really washing the meat. It's more of a light rinse to get any latent blood or slime off the meat.
 
You guys washing your steaks or other meat do realize that the meat you eat at restaurants or fast food spots are not being rinsed?
