Description

This recipe for Glazed Ham Steaks features tender, pan-seared ham steaks coated in a sweet and tangy homemade glaze made from brown sugar, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, and warm spices. Cooked in a skillet with butter, the glaze caramelizes to create a rich, sticky finish perfect for a quick and satisfying meal for four.


Ingredients

Glaze

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/8 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/8 tsp ground cloves

Ham Steaks

  • 2 8oz. ham steaks (cut into four 4oz portions)
  • 1 Tbsp butter


Instructions

  1. Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and ground cloves. Mix well until smooth and set aside.
  2. Cut the ham steaks: Slice each 8oz ham steak in half to create four equal 4oz portions for even cooking and serving.
  3. Cook the ham steaks: Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once melted, swirl the skillet to evenly coat the surface. Add the ham steaks and cook for 3-5 minutes on each side or until they develop a browned crust.
  4. Glaze the ham: Spoon half of the prepared glaze over the ham steaks, then flip them over and add the remaining glaze to the other side. Continue cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes on each side, allowing the glaze to thicken and become sticky, coating the ham beautifully.
  5. Serve: Remove the glazed ham steaks from the skillet and serve hot for a delicious, flavorful meal.

Notes

  • Use a non-stick or well-seasoned skillet to prevent sticking.
  • The glaze can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • Adjust the sweetness and tanginess of the glaze to taste by modifying brown sugar and vinegar amounts.
  • Serve with steamed vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
  • Ham steaks are usually pre-cooked, so cooking focuses on warming through and caramelizing the glaze.
