Pat dry the ham steak with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar until well combined. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. Allow the butter to melt completely.
Place the ham steak in the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on the first side until lightly browned.
Flip the ham steak and pour the prepared glaze over the top. Use a spoon to spread the glaze evenly over the surface.
Continue cooking the ham steak for another 3-4 minutes, spooning the glaze from the pan over the steak to ensure it's well-coated.
Once the glaze has thickened and the ham steak is heated through, remove it from the skillet and transfer it to a serving plate.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
