Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb (approximately) Cooked ham steak
- 3 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 2 cups Mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, and green beans, frozen or fresh)
- 0.25 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp Onion powder
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (optional, chopped)
Instructions
Place the cooked ham in a skillet over medium heat to warm through, about 4–5 minutes per side. Once heated, transfer it to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and whisk continuously for about 1–2 minutes to create a smooth roux.
Gradually pour in the milk, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Cook for 3–4 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and becomes creamy.
Stir in the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to season the sauce.
Add the mixed vegetables to the skillet. Stir to coat them evenly in the creamy sauce, cover with a lid, and cook for 7–10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Remove the lid and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Allow it to melt into the sauce, enhancing its flavor and richness.
Slice the warm ham into serving portions and plate alongside the creamed vegetables. Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a fresh finish.
Serve immediately and enjoy this hearty and creamy dish!
