If beef is ground fresh it's no different then cooking a streak.

If the surface of the beef has been contaminated, then even if its fresh, it makes no difference. The surfaces will be ground up and mixed together on the inside.
The only way to be sure is if you know the surface is ecoli free. Alternatively you could slice off the "de-skinn" the surface of the meat and then grind up the meat to make your own patty.
