Top bun is fat as hell but does this get any better than this ? I always order mid rare when I go out to eat and it always is mid well or well done even at more upscale restaurants . So just know if u ever order one at the restaurant I work at it’ll be like this 😍

I would eat it like a dawg grrrrrr
Gonna be honest hoss, I’m a big fan of 155f.
Delicious
I never understood why people eat medium or rare burger patties. The consistency is just bad.
Steak for example is left medium to rare to prevent it from becoming dry, but seasoned ground beef ?!
I would call it rare. You’re off by less than a minute on each side. The first picture’s lighting makes it look worse than it is.
What did it temp at? It looks more rare.
If I ground it myself I have no issues. If I didn’t, or know for certain who did, when, and from what; not worth the risk.
I like that. Maybe cooked 30 seconds longer.
I feel like this is a little past medium rare, at least for me.
nah don’t eat ground beef under 145 yall please gonna get sick
I would eat the shit out of this. Looks good.
I’m one of those midwesterners that eat specific ground round raw on crackers or toast and this burger is too raw for me.
Perfection is in the eyes of the guy writing the check.
Looks pretty fucking good though,
bro that center is raw…
that ain’t no medium rare
The texture looks more medium but it being so pink towards the edge gives it clout towards med rare. I’d say a solid MR+ if I had to pick one.
Middle is WAY too gummy for me. Minute more on each side at least. I don’t even think cheese would melt on that.
That’s why we melt the cheese on the grill but if u want I’ll make u one medium 😌
Looks rare af lol
In Canada you just posted something illegal haha.
That burger looks amazing
Joint I occasionally work at grinds in house and cooks their’s closer to med rare but otherwise I’d probably want it more cooked…
Lol, this is just rare. Maybe it gives you the shits and maybe it doesn’t. But I would never trust a restaurant who served me this rare or ground beef
Ground steak meat ground in-house? Sure. Regular ground chuck from your supplier? Absolutely not
Yes, chef.
You really have to be careful with ground beef like this, if you’re grinding cuts of meat and then preparing it like this you should be safe. But if you are using already ground product and preparing it like this the risk of getting sick is much higher.
If i ground the meat myself im cool with it, but i dont trust random restaurants to have good quality ground beef,
I want two of those, you are truly an artist. 🤗
If it’s growned it’s browned
Gross
Unless they’re grinding in house day-of I wouldn’t order mid-rare on a burger. Grinding burger puts all the bad germs from the outside of the meat that usually get cooked off into the inside of the meat.
Mmm, e. coli, salmonella, and a dash of campylobacter

Ew
The question was “is this a perfect medium rare?”
The answer is yes. Nice job OP.
Everyone else, your opinion on what the best temperature for a burger is is irrelevant.
Perfect medium
Also to all the people saying 100% raw , I just asked my head chef of 20+ years and he even said it’s MR+ so I guess we’re all wrong 🤣🤣 the flash does make it look pretty rare in the first pic tho
Medium well and above is the only burgers I respect, sorry op. I have a weak stomach so I’m not trying to get sick.
That looks like ground beef tartare with a slight crust.
That’s illegal in Canada.
These rules only apply to steak. Whole. Not ground.
yes. also most restaurants over cook your steak on purpose because they receive so many complaints from people who dont know what theyre ordering
Quality Burger. Looks Fucking Delicious
Clearly, based on half of all the comments here, you need to work on your photography.
That burger looks perfectly cooked.
We don’t do pink burgers in Australia. The idea of eating that is repulsive to me.
This is pretty much my ideal burger. Beautiful.
I fuck with that 5 days a week. (Also I’m grinding the beef and know how it’s handled)
I would never eat this unless I ground it up myself. Or maybe at a super high end place.
Cook your dang burgers, y’all! E. Coli is a surface bacteria and ground beef is virtually all surface. You can get away with a lower temp with steak because the surface gets all the heat from the sear.
