Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 0.25 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 pieces ham steaks
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, soy sauce, and ground cinnamon.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture comes to a gentle simmer and the sugar has dissolved completely, about 2-3 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and let the glaze cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, to thicken slightly.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
Once the butter is melted, add the ham steaks to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are heated through and lightly browned.
Brush the prepared glaze generously over both sides of the ham steaks while they are in the skillet, allowing it to caramelize slightly, about 1 minute per side.
Remove the ham steaks from the skillet and serve immediately. Drizzle any remaining glaze over the top for extra flavor.
