155*F
Ground beef should be cooked at a temperature of about 160 degrees Fahrenheit. That should be its minimum internal temperature. The external temperature to get it to such an internal temperature is up to you.
The meant should be cooked until it is 160F in the center. How hot the pan or grill is isn't as important. The hotter it is the faster the meat cooks.
Beef must be cooked until the minimum internal temperature is 155 degrees Fahrenheit. Most bacteria is on the surface of the meat, so ground meat has the surface mixed into under the surface. It is especially important to cook ground meat until the internal temperature is 155-160 degrees Fahrenheit, as a result.
Take the temperature of it! Fish and seafood should be cooked to a minimum internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit, ground meats should be cooked to 155 degrees Fahrenheit, whole meats such as beef roast or pork should be cooked to 145 degrees Fahrenheit, and poultry should be cooked to 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Anything you are trying to reheat should also be reheated to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

The reason ground meat must be cooked to a higher temperature than whole cuts of meat is because ground meat is because ground meat is handled more than whole cuts of meat. More handling means that there is more opportunity for bacteria to get into the meat.
I suppose you are referring to poultry and pork. As for poultry, salmonella is present throughout the meat and in pork it's trichinosis, therefore, in order to completely kill the bacteria the meat needs to be cooked to a minimum internal temperature of 140 to 145 degrees. As for beef, the bacteria is on the surface. Minimum cooking is allowed, as in steak tartar tartar. Ground beef contains multiple integrated surface layers and must be cooked to 140/145. Ask your local health department for proper cooking times and temps.
The beef must reach the appropriate safe temperature.
it should wiegh less when cooked
