I personally wouldn't do it, though I have known many restaurants/hotels
doing it with beef.  I'd not be so worried about it, considering the way
beasties reside in beef vs poultry.

In *general* nasties do reside on the surface of the beef, hence you can
"cook them out".  Whereas the beasties reside throughout the muscle of
poultry, hence you can't use that principle of cooking the surface stuff.
