Taste of Westchester: Mentor’s Mediterranean Steak
415 King Street, Chappaqua, 914-861-2386, www.mentorsteakhouse.com
Caccio & Peppe – Cheese Wheel! Owner Mentor Berisha, combines Mediterranean seafood with an American steakhouse. They feature prime beef, dry aged in house for 31 days. Born in Croatia and raised in Peja Republic of Kosovo, they source grass-fed beef from the Piedmont region of Italy as Mentor believes it tastes best. He will discuss his recipes that are similar to those of his mom and grandmother, with light touches of herbs, garlic, lemon and olive oil. We begin with Mediterranean house made meatballs – lamb and beef served on a bed of creamy polenta, roasted peppers, Kalamata olives on a Pomodoro sauce. Usually prepared table-side upon request we will learn about Chitarra (pasta) Caccio & Peppe simple ingredients prepared in a flaming Parmesan cheese wheel with freshly ground pepper, butter, and EVOO. Enjoy coffee with a demonstration on Mediterranean style cheesecake. In season, the beautiful French doors are opened for a great al fresco feel. Visit them on “Lobster Tuesdays” or “Tomahawk Thursdays” for a delicious treat!
Cost is $25 (+ $30 sampling fee in CASH, payable to instructor). # 5583
