The bite of the Montreal tends to mellow out BUT it doesn't disappear. I like the large pepper grinds that hold up to the heat.
Two finishing methods.
1. Cook until tender. Will typically be over the 200 mark.
2. Cook / Braise until tender. This method isn't so much the finish temp and checking for tenderness. Cook for color then put into a pan/wrap with foil with a little broth. Cook until tender.
