Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (8-10 oz each) Ham steak
- 8 rings Fresh pineapple slices
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 2 medium Ripe avocados
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh cilantro leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Start by making the pineapple glaze. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar, honey, soy sauce, and butter. Stir until the mixture is smooth and slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the ham steaks and pineapple rings lightly with olive oil.
Cook the ham steaks for 3-4 minutes per side or until heated through and slightly caramelized. While cooking, brush each side with the prepared pineapple glaze. Remove the ham and set it aside.
Using the same skillet or grill pan, cook the pineapple rings for 2 minutes per side or until caramelized and lightly golden. Brush with pineapple glaze as they cook.
While the ham and pineapple are cooling slightly, prepare the avocado topping. Slice the avocados in half, remove the pit, and carefully scoop out the flesh. Slice each half thinly and drizzle with lime juice to prevent browning.
Serve the ham steaks on a plate topped with caramelized pineapple rings. Arrange avocado slices on the side. Sprinkle the plate with chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper.
Optional: Drizzle any remaining pineapple glaze lightly over the avocado for added flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
