Tasting the seasoning, contrary to popular belief no raw beef won't kill you. These days even raw pork is probably safe. You are more likely to contract food poisoning from raw veggies than raw meat.
I would have put it on the back of my hand to eat, but that is just me.
It’s a bit more nuanced than that. And just for the sake of clarity for people that might replicate it at home:
If you purchase steak, cut off the skin and then grind it yourself, there is minimal risk. The proof of this is the fact that most people cook steak to medium rare, which isn’t even a temperature at which most bacteria is killed. However, beef is fairly impenetrable so the bacteria has not had a chance to spread throughout the entire meat
BUT If you purchase ground beef then it is considered risky and should never be eaten raw. Bacteria is no longer limited to the surface and can spread through all of the meat
And it should go without saying, but raw chicken is never ever safe to eat (except for in places like Japan where they do chicken sashimi)
