In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, brown sugar, black pepper, and olive oil to create the marinade.
Place the ham steaks in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag. Pour the marinade over the ham steaks, ensuring they are fully coated. Seal the bag (or cover the dish with plastic wrap) and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a deeper flavor.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Remove the ham steaks from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Reserve the marinade for basting.
Grill the ham steaks for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are browned and heated through. While grilling, occasionally baste the steaks with the reserved marinade using a brush.
Once the ham steaks are cooked, remove them from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the marinated ham steaks with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad.
