Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 ham steak pre-cooked, approximately 8 oz
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Louisiana-style hot sauce
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the butter and let it melt completely.
- Place the ham steak in the skillet and sear for 2–3 minutes per side, until lightly browned.
- Remove the ham from the skillet and set aside.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the water, brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and hot sauce to the skillet. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce is smooth.
- Return the ham steak to the skillet. Allow it to simmer in the glaze, flipping every minute or so to evenly coat for about 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and serve warm with glaze spooned over the top.
Notes
- I have made this with regular mustard, spicy mustard and even without mustard — all good options. My favorite glaze was the one with dijon, so that's what made it in the final recipe.
- This is also very good with maple syrup. What I do is cut the water in half and eliminate the brown sugar from the recipe, and use about 2 tbsp of maple syrup instead.
- You'll notice the glaze will start to thicken up after the sugar is fully dissolved. That is when I like to add the ham steak back in.
- It does have a touch of heat with the added hot sauce, but my kids still love it! If you're sensitive to heat, you may want to leave it out.
- This is made with precooked ham steaks, which is how they usually come. You don't have to use precooked; just add a few extra minutes to allow it to cook through. Usually, it takes about 6-7 minutes per side to cook a ham steak through. Use an instant thermometer to check the internal temperature!
