If you grind your own beef, you can cook it rare, as long as you handled the meat correctly and had clean utensils and work space.

Surely you still need to sear the outside surfaces of the meat before grinding/mincing otherwise they could end up anywhere in the burger.

No you don't unless the meat was "contaminated" when you got it. If beef is handled correctly you can eat it raw. Steak tartare is a famous example, there is a reason that isn't served in the cheaper restaurants where teenagers work;) If you don't trust that the meat why eat it at all?
