Cooked to an internal of 140, medium-rare I believe is fine? It tasted solid but if I’m wrong please do let me know!

I've been taught that pinky porky is undercooked. My mom usually cooks it in a cast iron plate to keep in the juice :)

Pink is fine as long as it reaches an internal temp of 145F for at least a minute

There are lots of “rules of thumb” for cooking (no pink in chicken or pork, for example) that will often cause your meat to be a little over done. Time at temp is king for actual safety. If you really want to have great roasts every time, invest in temperature probes
