Chances of food poisoning from beef meatballs?

I fried some beef meatballs in a curry sauce for dinner earlier for around 20 minutes.
I cut a couple in half and they were cooked through but noticed a couple looking pink around the edges as I served. I assumed it was fine as you can eat beef raw but is this right?! Have I just poisoned us??

I think you'll be fine considering most of the fancy burger places have pink in the middle burgers... same thing really isn't it?

You will be fine. Beef can be eaten rare although it is safer in the non ground form to do so.

Thank you, I hadn’t thought about burgers being pink. I’m emetophobic and can be paranoid about getting sick!
