Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ham steak
- 2 cups Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
- 1 Red bell pepper
- 1 Red onion
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 8 Wooden skewers (soaked in water for 30 minutes)
Instructions
Cut the ham steak into 1-inch cubes and set aside.
If using fresh pineapple, peel, core, and cut it into similar-sized chunks. If using canned, drain well.
Core and dice the red bell pepper into 1-inch pieces. Peel and cut the red onion into similar-sized chunks.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, honey, soy sauce, garlic powder, and ground black pepper to create the marinade.
In a large mixing bowl, add the ham cubes, pineapple chunks, bell pepper, and onion pieces. Pour the marinade over the ingredients and toss to coat evenly. Let the mixture marinate for 15 minutes.
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 375°F). If using a stovetop grill pan, heat it over medium heat.
Assemble the kabobs by threading the ham, pineapple, bell pepper, and onion onto the soaked skewers, alternating ingredients for a colorful presentation.
Place the kabobs on the preheated grill and cook for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the ham is warmed through, and the vegetables and pineapple have slight grill marks.
Remove the kabobs from the grill and let them rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Serve warm as is or with your choice of dipping sauce.
