What is Ham Steak?
You can find ham steaks in the refrigerated section of the grocery store in the meat department. They come already sliced and wrapped.
Costco has a package of three ham steaks together for one low price.
Ham steaks are cut from the center of cured ham. They range in thickness from 3/4″ to 1″.
Storage
Ham steaks will last 3-5 days in the refrigerator. I doubt that you’ll have any leftovers though!
Ingredients
1 pound ham slice
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon paprika
Directions
1. Melt butter in the skillet and add ham. Cook until brown on both sides on medium heat. (Approximately 3-4 minutes on each side.)
2. Remove ham steak from the skillet and keep warm.
3. Add the remaining ingredients to the pan (water, Dijon mustard, brown sugar and paprika.) Cook until sugar is dissolved, approximately 5 minutes.
4. Place ham steak back in the skillet and cook another 5 minutes with the caramelized glaze.
5. Serve hot and expect raving reviews!
Tips
- You can substitute regular mustard for Dijon mustard.
- Maple syrup, honey, or pineapple juice can be used in place of brown sugar on this cooked ham steak.
- Serving size is four servings.
What to Serve with Ham Steaks
1. Macaroni and Cheese
Macaroni and cheese is one of the most perfect ham sides. They seem to go together like salt and pepper.
Maybe I think that way because that’s one of the side dishes that was served with my country ham slice when I was growing up.
2. Mashed Potatoes
Mashed potatoes add a nice balance to the sweetness of the sauce for ham slices.
3. Green Beans
When you’re done cooking the ham in the skillet, you can use the same pan to make your side of green beans. You can put your fried ham steak in the oven to warm until they are done.
4. Applesauce
Applesauce pairs well with any ham slice meals. Whether you have your own homemade applesauce or buy your favorite brand, applesauce add a little “wow” factor to your dish.
6. Soup
The brown sugar ham will go well with rustic soups.
7. Side Salad
A side salad is a healthy option when deciding what to make with ham. It would be fun to serve a different type of salad that mirrored the season you’re serving it.
