Maple Glazed Ham Steak (delish)
Maple Glazed Ham Steak
by LAURA REGE
How do you cook a ham steak?
Many brands of prepackaged ham steaks are sold smoked and fully cooked, but reheating to at least 140° before serving is recommended by the USDA. You can pan-fry ham steaks in a skillet with a little bit of oil, grill them, or bake them.
What kind of glaze works?
A glaze is essential with a ham steak. However you normally like to flavor a whole baked ham (aka your favorite ham glaze) will also work with a ham steak. Our favorite glaze is a mix of maple syrup, Dijon, and apple cider vinegar. We always reach for maple syrup, which brings out the sweetness of ham. Apple cider vinegar brings a nice brightness and cuts the fattiness of the ham, while Dijon brings a tangy kick.
What goes well with ham steak?
We like to serve ham steak with a bean, like black eyed peas, or cannellini beans, and a leafy green quickly sautéed in olive oil.
2 SERVINGS
1/4 c. maple syrup
2 tbsp. packed brown sugar
1 tbsp. apple cider vinegar
1 tsp. Dijon mustard
5 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
6 oz. Tuscan kale, stems removed, leaves torn into 2-inch pieces
3/4 c. cooked black eyed peas
1 cooked ham steak, about 1 lb.
In a small bowl, whisk maple syrup, brown sugar, vinegar, and mustard.
In a medium skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Add kale and cook, tossing until wilted, about 4 minutes. Add black eyed peas and cook, tossing, until heated through, 1 minute. Transfer mixture to a plate and return skillet to medium-high.
Heat remaining 2 teaspoons oil. Add ham steak and cook until golden, about 4 minutes per side.
Pour maple syrup mixture into pan and cook, turning ham a few times until fully coated in glaze. Return kale mixture to pan and toss to coat with any glaze remaining in skillet.

-- I did not serve the ham with kale and black eyed peas, but with stewed apples and scalloped potatoes. I only used about half of the glaze. I heard no complaints from anyone. This is an easy, tasty ham steak.
