Pan-Fried Ham Steak with Brown Sugar Glaze

Ingredients

• •1 lb ham steak (½ to ¾ inch thick)
• •2 tablespoons butter
• •¼ cup brown sugar
• •2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar or pineapple juice
• •1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• •½ teaspoon black pepper
• •¼ teaspoon ground cloves
• •Pinch salt

Directions

1. 1Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2. 2Score the edges of the ham steak in a crosshatch pattern to prevent curling, then place in the skillet.
3. 3Cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown.
4. 4In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, vinegar, mustard, pepper, and cloves.
5. 5Pour the glaze over the ham steak and cook for 2-3 minutes, turning once to coat both sides.
6. 6Transfer to a serving plate and drizzle with any remaining glaze from the pan.

💡 Ham steak is cured and already firm, so reduce the brown-sugar glaze separately if needed instead of keeping the ham over heat until the sauce thickens.
