Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound ham steak
- 0.5 cup orange juice
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water together to create a slurry. Set aside.
Peel and finely grate the fresh ginger and mince the garlic clove.
In a mixing bowl, combine the orange juice, orange zest, fresh ginger, garlic, brown sugar, soy sauce, and honey. Stir until well mixed.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the butter is melted, add the ham steak to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until warmed through and lightly browned. Remove the ham steak and set aside.
In the same skillet, pour in the orange ginger sauce mixture. Bring to a gentle simmer for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the cornstarch slurry to the skillet, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens, about 1-2 minutes.
Return the ham steak to the skillet and spoon the sauce over it. Let it cook for another 1-2 minutes to ensure the ham is well-coated and heated through.
Plate the ham steak, drizzle extra sauce on top, and serve warm. Pair with steamed vegetables, rice, or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
