Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces ham steaks
- 8 pieces pineapple rings (canned)
- 1 cup pineapple juice (reserved from the can)
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cooking spray or oil
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, ground ginger, and garlic powder. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
Lightly grease a skillet or griddle with cooking spray or oil and heat over medium heat.
Place ham steaks on the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side or until lightly browned.
Remove ham steaks from the skillet and set aside.
Pour the prepared pineapple glaze into the skillet and simmer over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened.
Return the ham steaks to the skillet, spooning the glaze over them to coat. Add pineapple rings to the skillet as well.
Cover and cook for an additional 5 minutes, turning the ham steaks and pineapple rings halfway through to ensure they are evenly heated and coated in the glaze.
Serve immediately or allow to cool completely to prepare for freezing.
If freezing, place each ham steak and two pineapple rings into a freezer-safe container or bag, then pour some glaze over the top. Label and freeze for up to 3 months.
To reheat from frozen, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and warm in a covered skillet over medium heat until heated through.
