Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ham steak
- 0.25 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pat the ham steak dry using paper towels to remove any surface moisture and set it aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and black pepper until well combined.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the unsalted butter.
Once the butter is melted and simmering, place the ham steak in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side until golden brown.
Flip the ham steak and pour the maple glaze mixture evenly over the top.
Allow the ham steak to cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, spooning the glaze over the top frequently as it thickens. Ensure the internal temperature of the ham steak reaches at least 140°F (60°C).
Once the glaze has thickened and the ham steak is heated through, remove it from the skillet and transfer to a serving plate.
Drizzle any remaining glaze from the skillet over the ham steak.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy!
