 That's a shame. Some meats need to be thoroughly cooked. Some are a better when a little pink side, and some are far better rare or medium rare.  I prefer beef and lamb to be medium rare. IMO a steak cooked past medium is a waste of good meat.
 

The only lamb I cook past medium-rare is lamb shanks.  Those are braised, low and slow until falling off the bone tender.  For me, beef steaks should be no more than medium-rare, leaning towards the rare side.  Pork tenderloin is very lean and quickly becomes tough and dry if there isn't still a little pink in the middle.
