A piece of meat that isn't medium rare between two pieces of bread doesn't qualify to exist as a burger.

That is how you get ecoli and mad cow.

According to the food code, ground beef should be cooked at 155 degrees F internally and held there for 15 seconds, or 158 degrees for even a moment, in order to kill pathogens at the center of the meat. Unlike a rare steak, a rare burger is risky because the germs from the outside of the meat have been ground inside.

Tl;dr, you are risking your life.

Ground meat is not like sushi or steak.
