There is always some risk, however limited, in eating raw meat or unwashed anything. The main concern with raw/undercooked beef has been in those countries which have identified mad cow disease.
Possibly the most dangerous foods to eat undercooked are chicken and eggs, because Salmonella Enteritidis is now endemic in battery farmed chickens. However they are vaccinated, so this should rarely cause concern (yet) either.
Might make you think twice about eating steak tartare tho, since it is basically raw minced steak mixed with raw eggs...
