Answers:
When taking the raw beef out of the fridge if you leave it outside for more than 2 hours it can be exposed to any bacteria!. The meat should be cooked in less than 2 hours when you take it out!.
If you have frozen meat, take it out from the freezer the day before and put it in fridge to defrost in a natural way!.
Any hazard can happen before you cook the beef (I'm completely agree with the answer that while cooking the stew there's no hazard) but as I said, could happen before like food contamination (using the same chopping board for any kind of food, or knife, etc)!. Other hazards that can cause food contamination is when the temperature of the hot meal is under 60 C, but this is more applicable for food that is in a shelf in bain-marie for sale at any food retail!.
About the eggs if they're not fresh or you don't trust the vendor, better not to buy/eat them!. Salmonella also can happen if the eggshell is dirty and when you drop the egg some of it fall with the egg!.
Better to clean it under running water if you see some dirty over it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

There shouldn't be any hazard in stew as the meat is cooked for a long time, so no bacteria can survive!. Only if the meat was already bad before you cooked it, but still, it would just upset your stomach!. With eggs - you are right, you can get salmonella if the egg isn't fresh or cooked properly!.

No it cant!. Just make sure the meat is cooked and you dont cut vegetables with a knife that has cut raw meat!. Poeple drink egg yolks raw so I doubt it would cause food poisoningWww@FoodAQ@Com
Failure to drain off the excess fat when you cook it!.
It might not cause poisoning as such, but it'd make me vomit!.
