Not really. E coli is found on the outer layer of mass-killed beef meat so can be destroyed by “light” cooking. Grinding meat up mixes the E coli throughout so to destroy it you have to cook the meat completely.
In smaller abattoirs the contamination problems may not be so bad … but there aren’t many of those left.
Hint: Don’t eat any raw, rare, or medium cooked ground beef.
‘Well done or none’ is the general rule.

Depends on the cut, ground sirloin > ground chuck
