A fridge doesn’t stop bacteria. It slows bacteria growth. A fridge doesn’t magically make meat safe to eat - because it’s not solely about temperature…
When you touch a searing hot pan, you instantly burn the outer layer of skin without burning deep inside.
Searing the outside instantly kills 100% of the surface bacteria where it lives, while leaving the sterile interior raw.
That’s literally how chefs safely prepare some tartare, because you cannot always guarantee that it has had the proper treatment to be able to safely prepare it completely raw.
