Steak is safe to consume at lower temperatures. The interior of the meat is mostly free from bacteria, so while you still need to cook it, it's not as important. 120f internal becomes 130ish internal after resting as the heat on the outside migrates in, which results in a perfect medium-rare piece of beef.
Do NOT do this with hamburger, however. Grinding beef up mixes all the bacteria on the surface into the inside so you've gotta cook that shit to 165 °F.
