Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (about 1 inch thick each) Ham steak
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 1 medium, finely chopped Yellow onion
- 2 cloves, minced Garlic
- 1.5 cups Dry white wine
- 0.5 cup Chicken or vegetable stock
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon, finely chopped Fresh thyme
- 1 teaspoon, chopped (for garnish) Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon, or to taste Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon, freshly ground Black pepper
Instructions
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Pat the ham steaks dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, then add them to the skillet.
Sear the ham steaks for about 3-4 minutes per side or until they develop a golden-brown crust. Once done, remove them from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-5 minutes until softened and translucent. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the white wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to deglaze and release any delicious browned bits. Let the wine simmer for about 3-4 minutes until slightly reduced.
Stir in the chicken or vegetable stock and heavy cream. Reduce heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Return the ham steaks to the skillet, spooning some sauce over them. Sprinkle with fresh thyme, then cover and simmer on low heat for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Taste the sauce and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper as needed.
To serve, place each ham steak on a plate, spoon the wine sauce generously over the top, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
Serve immediately with your choice of side dishes, such as roasted potatoes, buttered spaetzle, or steamed green beans.
