Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (approximately 8 ounces each) ham steaks
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon, chopped (optional for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Place the ham steaks in the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned. Remove the ham steaks from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt. Stir in the brown sugar, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper.
Cook the glaze over medium heat, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Return the ham steaks to the skillet and spoon the glaze over them to coat thoroughly. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, turning the ham steaks once, until heated through and well glazed.
Transfer the ham steaks to serving plates and drizzle any remaining glaze from the skillet over the top.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
