Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices (about 1/2 inch thick) ham steak
- 2 medium (sliced thinly) yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 0.5 cup whole milk
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon (chopped) fresh thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
- 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) black pepper
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the ham slices and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until lightly browned. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become golden and caramelized.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Stir in the milk, thyme, salt, and pepper. Let the gravy simmer for 3-5 minutes, or until thickened to your desired consistency.
Return the cooked ham slices to the skillet, nestling them into the onion gravy. Spoon some of the gravy over the ham.
Cover the skillet and let the ham simmer in the gravy for 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Serve hot with mashed potatoes or rice, and enjoy!
