Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ham steak
- 1 cup Apple cider
- 2 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 1 tbsp Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the ham steak to the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until it develops a golden-brown crust. Remove the ham steak and set it aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in the apple cider. Stir in the brown sugar, Dijon mustard, black pepper, and salt. Allow the mixture to simmer for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reduces slightly and thickens.
Add the butter to the cider glaze and stir until melted and combined.
Return the ham steak to the skillet and spoon the glaze over the top. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, flipping once, to ensure the ham is warmed through and well-coated in the glaze.
Remove the ham steak from the skillet and transfer to a serving platter. Drizzle any remaining glaze over the top.
Garnish with chopped parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
