Honey mustard ham steaks combine the richness of savory ham with a sweet and tangy honey mustard glaze. Quick and easy to prepare in just 15-20 minutes, this dish is perfect for weeknights or entertaining guests.
Ingredients
- Ham steaks (bone-in or boneless): 2-4 steaks (about 1 lb or 450g)
- Honey: 1/4 cup (60ml)
- Dijon mustard: 2 tablespoons (30g)
- Apple cider vinegar: 1 tablespoon (15ml)
- Olive oil: 1 tablespoon (15ml)
- Garlic: 2 cloves, minced
- Optional: Cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes (for extra heat)
- Optional: Fresh herbs (thyme or rosemary for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Ham Steaks:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ham steaks and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until browned and heated through. - Make the Honey Mustard Glaze:
In a small bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar. If you like heat, add a pinch of cayenne or red pepper flakes. - Coat the Ham Steaks:
Pour the glaze over the cooked ham steaks, turning them to coat both sides. Let the glaze simmer for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly. - Serve and Enjoy:
Remove the ham steaks from the skillet and serve immediately, drizzling any extra glaze from the pan over the top.
Notes
- Don’t Overcook: Ham steaks are pre-cooked, so only heat them through. Overcooking can make them tough.
- Adjust Sweetness: Add more honey for a sweeter glaze, or more mustard/vinegar for a tangier version.
- For a Smokier Flavor: Use smoked ham steaks.
- Make-Ahead: The glaze can be prepared up to 3 days ahead and stored in the fridge.
