Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ham steak (lean, fully cooked)
- 1 cup Pineapple chunks (canned in juice, not syrup)
- 1 cup Pineapple juice (reserved from canned pineapple)
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar (light)
- 1 teaspoon Cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon Soy sauce (low-sodium)
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground ginger
- as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Spray a large skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat.
Add the ham steak to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until heated through and lightly browned. Remove the ham steak from the skillet and set aside.
In a small saucepan, combine pineapple chunks, pineapple juice, brown sugar, cornstarch, soy sauce, and ground ginger. Mix well to dissolve the cornstarch.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens and bubbles, about 3-5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for another 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Slice the ham steak into portions and serve with the pineapple sauce drizzled across the top.
Garnish with additional pineapple chunks or fresh herbs, if desired, and enjoy a delicious 4-point meal!
