What temp you take out a Beef Roast for Medium Rare???

The chart I have calls for meat to be pulled at 125 for medium rare, with the cutting temp at 130 after resting. The reason yours climbed to 140 is probably that you cooked it at a higher temp. I smoke them at about 250, so the internal temp does not climb so high during the resting process. It sounds like you cooked yours in the oven, if so, try pulling it at about 117-120.

Good luck!

I usually pull at 120 and let it rest. I'd rather have to put it back on for a minute or 2 then to have over cooked meat.

There is a ton of valuable info here.
