Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup pineapple juice
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the brown sugar, pineapple juice, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, and ground black pepper.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk together until the ingredients are fully combined and the sugar has dissolved.
In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the saucepan while constantly stirring to avoid lumps.
Continue cooking the sauce, stirring frequently, for 5-7 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the unsalted butter until melted and fully incorporated. This will add a rich, silky finish to the sauce.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed. If it's too sweet, add a splash more vinegar; if it needs more depth, add another dash of soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce.
Drizzle the sauce over cooked ham steak, or use it as a glaze by brushing it on the steak during the last few minutes of cooking. Serve immediately and enjoy!
