Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ham steak
- 0.5 cup apricot preserves
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly oil the grates or spray with cooking spray to prevent the ham from sticking.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the apricot preserves, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, soy sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper. Whisk together until fully blended to create the glaze.
Using a basting brush, generously coat both sides of the ham steak with the apricot glaze. Reserve some of the glaze for basting during cooking.
Place the ham steak on the preheated grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side, until grill marks appear and the glaze begins to caramelize.
Flip the ham steak carefully and brush the top with more glaze. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, ensuring the ham steak is heated through and has nice caramelized marks.
Remove the ham steak from the grill and transfer to a serving platter. Let it rest for 2 minutes to allow the juices to settle.
Slice into portions and serve warm with your choice of sides, such as grilled vegetables or a fresh salad.
