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.
