>Absolutely everything is rinsed Don't rinse raw meat. It makes things worse! https://www.fsis.usda.gov/wps/portal/fsis/topics/food-safety-education/get-answe

  Spoilers: Its not making things worse. It just provides an avenue for cross contamination, which you should be accounting for when preparing meat anyways.

    In my experience, it makes the roasted meat worse. A lot of roasted meat works better if you dry out the outer layers with salt. Rinsing does the opposite.

  I mean, unless I'm eating it completely raw (where is hope to practically know the cow by name) then washing the outside before cooking it seems like a complete waste of time.

    The thought was to do it prior to seasoning to provide better coverage (after drying). Recipes switched to having you just pat the meat dry with paper towels to avoid the cross contamination vector.
