Stove Top Ham Steak
Ingredients
- 1 ham steak
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- black pepper, to taste
- optional: herb and spices or a ham glaze
Instructions
- Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat with olive oil for 2-3 minutes.
- Pat the steak completely dry after removing it from its packaging. Sprinkle the ham with black pepper on both sides.
- Place the ham in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes until a sear forms. Flip to the other side and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until seared and heated all the way through to at least 140°F.
- If you’re adding a glaze, turn the broiler on while cooking the ham. After the ham is heated thoroughly, brush the glaze on both sides. Transfer the ham steak to an oven-safe dish and place it directly under the broiler. Broil for 1-2 minutes to thicken and caramelize the glaze.
- Rest the ham steak for one minute at room temperature before serving.
