Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb ham steak
- 0.5 cup pepper jelly
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
- 0.25 tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the unsalted butter to the skillet and allow it to melt completely.
Place the ham steak in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes on one side until it develops a golden-brown crust.
Flip the ham steak and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side. Remove the ham steak from the skillet and set it aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and add the pepper jelly, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and ground black pepper. Stir until the mixture becomes smooth and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes.
Return the ham steak to the skillet and spoon the pepper jelly glaze generously over the ham. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, flipping the ham steak once to ensure both sides are coated and heated through.
Transfer the ham steak to a serving plate and drizzle with the remaining glaze from the skillet.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.
