Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ham steak
- 3 tablespoons Molasses
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.
In a small bowl, whisk together the molasses, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, ground cloves, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Set aside.
Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt, swirling to coat the pan.
Place the ham steak in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until it begins to brown.
Flip the ham steak and reduce the heat to medium-low. Pour the molasses glaze over the ham steak, spreading it evenly across the surface with a spoon or brush.
Let the ham steak cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, occasionally spooning the glaze from the pan back over the top to ensure the ham absorbs the flavors.
Once the glaze thickens and the ham is heated through, remove the skillet from the heat.
Transfer the ham steak to a serving plate and drizzle any remaining glaze from the pan over the top.
Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp salad.
