Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Ham steaks
- 3 cups Cooked white rice
- 1.5 cups Pineapple chunks (canned or fresh)
- 0.5 cup Pineapple juice (from can or fresh)
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 2 Green onions, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Sear the ham steaks for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the pineapple chunks, pineapple juice, soy sauce, and brown sugar. Let the mixture simmer for 3-4 minutes to thicken slightly.
Return the ham steaks to the skillet, spooning the pineapple sauce over them. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 5-6 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
In a separate saucepan, combine the cooked rice, a small amount of the pineapple sauce (about 2-3 tablespoons), salt, and black pepper. Gently stir in the green onions for added flavor.
Serve the ham steaks over the pineapple rice, garnishing with additional green onions if desired.
