We said "medium rare", not "undercooked". I don't know how much (or little) you know about cooking or if you know how to properly cook a steak medium rare, or even if you know what temperature the core of the meat must be to be safe, but let's assume you don't know any of those things.
A properly cooked medium rare steak is safe to eat. It was one of my favourite things to eat throughout my childhood, and I have not once gotten sick from it. Only from badly cooked (or frozen too late, or thawed and re-frozen perhaps) chicken or shrimp. Not once from bad steak. Never got worms from it, either.

I made stir fry tonight because I mangled the steak trying to get rid of the fat.
True Story.

Lol. Take your time, slice slowly, always use a sharp knife, and try and follow the contours of the fat, don't worry too much about being peeerfect. ;)
Cooking with ░▒ﮒϞιゥøы▒░ ;D

The contours of fat were everywhere. I ended up with 2 cups worth of fat out of around 5 cups of meat.

I'm baffled by that one entry already :s
Also, pretty sure I'm missing something :c

Looking at the letters for about hour now still not a clue what to do .... truly satanic puzzle :)

Aight. I'm gonna give one hint, which isn't exactly a hint. It's pretty much a common knowledge amongst regular puzzle solvers, but if you're new to this thing - study this topic.

I didn't have time to do your puzzle, but it gave me a really good idea for something I might do in a future puzzle, so thanks :P.

I doubt that I would have solved the capitalazing part even though I was getting close. Too fixated in another approach made me lose sight of different possibilities. Thanks for puzzle.

Good thing I didn't try this one, though I generally like puzzles.
It's an interesting idea, though ;)

I actually would have known what to do, but I was too lazy to solve it. :D

You can start by going here.
No hints. Everything you need to know is somewhere in the puzzle itself. Good luck.
Solution:
Puzzle name refers to the practice of backmasking. Or, more specifically, to the accusations made against bands like Judas Priest, whose songs allegedly contained "satanic messages" recorded backwards.
1) Reverse the track. You can do it with Audacity - free, open source program, the link to which I helpfully hid the source code. Open file -> Effects -> Reverse. Now you can listen to the message.
2) If you ever played any military shooter, you should know what the words in the message mean. It's the NATO phonetic alphabet. Message goes "Yankee Tango Romeo Hotel November Lima Echo", so that's YTRHNLE, a string of letters. Question is - what do you do with it?
3) Check the file's ID3 tags. There's a number 64 in the comments, suggesting you should use base64 to decode the string. But to decode it without the bits of gibberish, you need to know the correct capitalisation.
4) You've probably noticed, that there are two voices reading out the letters. It's actually one voice, but with altered pitch. Raised Chipmunkesque pitch = upper case letter, lowered slowish pitch = lower case.
5) So, the correct capitalisation is YTRhNlE, decode it and you get a4a6Q, which is a giveaway code.
Oh, and why is there a sound of rain in the background? Well, you need something in the background, otherwise it sounds ridiculous. And I just happen to like rain.
