I'm not so removed from beef to not? say- COOL!
At the very least you are being more paleo and for all I know eating raw red meat might be healthy as I don't think it's ever bee tested 
Buffalo tartar next? 
(forgetting of course all my ehh other beliefs and stuff)
Did I say that out loud?

You grind your own beef in a food processor, huh? Where do you get the beef? That's like the steak tartare my mother used to feed me when I was a little caveman. I love it. I love raw foods. But I'm afraid to eat it now.

Most of the time, I grind my own meat so that I can be assured of its quality. I'm very suspicious of commercial ground meat, and think it's very likely to be swimming with nasties. In the case of the meatballs though, I used a pre-ground meat, but it was from a whole cow we ordered, which was processed by the farmer in a facility that I know was clean because I was there.
The meatballs are a good place to start introducing raw meat. With them all seasoned up (and you could take the seasonings in many directions), I'd bet most people couldn't even tell they were raw.

Sounds good, Carnation! Unfortunately, it's a bit of a hassle - but it would be crazy to eat pre-packaged supermarket ground beef raw, I think.
