Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Thick-cut ham slices
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1.5 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 1 piece Lemon wedge (optional)
Instructions
Begin by patting the ham slices dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. This helps achieve a nice sear.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Once the skillet is hot, add 2 ham slices at a time. Sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the edges caramelize and develop a golden-brown crust. Remove the cooked slices and set them aside. Repeat with the remaining ham slices, adding more olive oil if necessary.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the red chili flakes, honey, soy sauce, smoked paprika, and ground black pepper. Stir well to combine and allow the sauce to simmer for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return the seared ham slices to the skillet, spooning the spicy glaze over each piece to thoroughly coat them. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove from heat and transfer the ham slices to a serving plate. Optionally, garnish with fresh chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice for added brightness.
Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a crisp green salad.
