They had a browned exterior, just blood red interior. My insta-read
thermometer fell apart recently and I haven't purchased a replacement yet.
It was an easy meal, very tasty recipe...but just per the recipe time
wayyyyyy too rare. I guess I need to toss my oven thermometer in and
check the calibration.
