Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece (approximately 1-inch thick, about 1.5 pounds) Center cut ham steak
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 350°F) and oil the grates lightly to prevent sticking.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, Dijon mustard, honey, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and apple cider vinegar to form a smooth glaze.
Brush both sides of the center cut ham steak with olive oil to keep it moist during grilling.
Generously brush one side of the ham steak with the prepared brown sugar glaze.
Place the ham steak on the grill, glaze-side down. Cook for about 5-6 minutes to allow the glaze to caramelize.
Brush the top side of the ham steak with more glaze, then flip it over using tongs. Cook for an additional 5-6 minutes on the second side, or until the ham is heated through and slightly charred around the edges.
Remove the ham steak from the grill and let it rest for 3 minutes to retain its juices.
Slice the ham steak into portions and serve warm with your favorite side dishes like grilled vegetables or mashed potatoes.
