How safe is leftover raw kitfo?

Ordered raw kitfo about 24 hours ago and got the leftovers into the fridge an hour later. Still safe to eat raw?
Second not eating it, between the butter and the raw meat - ugh, I can only imagine the tribute to the porcelain god.

It is a dish designed to be eaten fresh... at room temperature. Even if edible, it sounds really unappetizing. How about fried kitfo burgers?

Best answer: mmmm, kitfo.... I wouldn't eat leftover kitfo raw, but I have definitely thoroughly cooked it up into a tasty meat patty and eaten that.

I have done this before and was fine, but I wouldn't recommend it.
FWIW, it was not as tasty the second day - actually, it was kind of fridge-y - so you wouldn't be missing much if you ditched it.

If you look through my Can I Eat It history here on metafilter, you will see me giving an enthusiastic thumbs-up to all kinds of foods left out for all kinds of periods. There are, as far as I can remember, two things where I've said "No, don't eat it!": the jar of venison chili which had been left unrefrigerated and was bubbling and oozing, and THIS RAW KITFO NO NO NO.
I eat raw kitfo all the time. I love it. I would not eat these leftovers unless I had cooked them.

I literally just ate some gyoza that had been sitting at room temp for more than 12 hours, and I wouldn't eat this.
