Glazed Ham Steak
Ingredients
- 2 lbs ham steaks, or between 2-4 steaks
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp Dijon or brown mustard
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- cracked black pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp olive or canola oil
Instructions
- Mix the glaze ingredients. Unwrap the ham steaks or cut them from a full-sized ham. Trim off excess fat if there is any. Skin or glazed edges can be cut off or left on according to your preference.
- Heat a cast iron pan or stainless steel skillet over medium heat. Add the olive or canola oil to the pan. While the oil is heating, brush the glaze onto the ham steaks with a brush. Place the ham steaks in the pan, adding only as many as can fit in the pan without crowding.
- Brush on more glaze as the ham steaks cook if you desire. Cook for about 2 minutes per side before flipping. Let the glaze thicken and get a little browning on the edges of the steak. When the glaze is thick enough and the meat has begun to sizzle, remove it to a plate and serve immediately.
Notes
There is a chance that the ham steak will curl while it cooks, especially in an oven or on the stovetop. Slice the surface shallowly with a sharp knife in a diamond pattern to prevent this.
