Ingredients
  

For the ham steaks
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 ham steaks 8-ounce, fully cooked
For the glaze
  • 3 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar packed
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 0.125 tsp ground cloves
  • 0.125 tsp black pepper

Equipment

  • 1 12-inch skillet

Method
 

Brown the ham steaks
  1. Melt the butter in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the ham steaks and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until browned and heated to 140°F at the center.
  3. Transfer the ham steaks to a plate.
Make the glaze
  1. Reduce the heat to medium-low and whisk the honey, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, vinegar, cloves, and pepper into the skillet.
  2. Simmer for 1 to 2 minutes, whisking, until the glaze is bubbling and the sugar has dissolved.
  3. Return the ham steaks to the skillet and turn to coat with the glaze.
  4. Cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute per side, until the glaze clings to the steaks, then serve.

Notes

For the best texture, avoid overcooking the fully cooked ham steaks. Refrigerate leftovers for 3–4 days; freezing is okay. Maple syrup can replace the honey if needed.
