Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 slices Ham slices (fully cooked, 1/2 inch thick)
- 1 cup Beer (light or amber)
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the beer, brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and black pepper.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring frequently to dissolve the sugar and ensure all ingredients are well combined.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and let the glaze simmer for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and stir in the butter until melted and fully incorporated.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and lightly grease it with a drizzle of cooking oil or a small pat of butter.
Add the ham slices to the skillet in a single layer (cook in batches if needed). Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until lightly browned.
Brush the beer glaze generously onto each side of the ham slices while they're in the skillet. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes on each side, allowing the glaze to caramelize and coat the ham evenly.
Remove the ham slices from the skillet and transfer to a serving platter. Drizzle any remaining glaze over the top for extra flavor.
Serve hot and enjoy with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
