Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ham steak
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 0.25 cup Whiskey
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter to the skillet.
Season the ham steak on both sides with salt and black pepper. Place it in the hot skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden-brown and heated through. Remove the ham steak and set aside on a plate, tented with foil to keep it warm.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Once melted, stir in the brown sugar and minced garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Carefully pour in the whiskey, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze any browned bits. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the alcohol to cook off and the liquid to reduce slightly.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, stirring continuously, until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened.
Return the ham steak to the skillet, spooning the whiskey sauce over it to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to warm the ham steak through.
Remove the skillet from the heat. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
