Ham steak is a great dish for Sunday lunch or dinner. This is a thick slice of ham or half of it. The best ham steaks are obtained when they are made from the center of a pork leg and are free of bones. In stores, you can find pre-cut steaks or ask the seller to cut them. Most of the time, steaks are 2.5 cm thick, but you can ask the vendor to cut the meat thicker or thinner. Try our two recipes.

Steps

Method 1 of 2: Ham steak in a skillet

Here's a quick and easy way to make a ham steak that will satisfy even the most picky foodies.

1. 1 Take a skillet large enough to fit the steaks in one layer and add pineapple juice or ginger ale. If you have small pans, you may need to use more than one for this recipe.
2. 2 Add yellow sugar and stir.
3. 3 Use a sharp knife to make a few small cuts around the edge of the steaks to prevent them from curling up during cooking.
4. 4 Place the steaks in a skillet and sprinkle with pepper and cloves.
5. 5 Cover the skillet with a lid and heat to low to simmer the steaks.
6. 6 After 5-7 minutes, when the steaks are browned on one side, turn them over with a fork.
7. 7 Simmer steaks until tender (about 15 minutes).

Method 2 of 2: Grilled ham steak

Grill a new dish - the steak is inexpensive but delicious.

1. 1 Mix the jam, butter, mustard, and orange juice well in a bowl.
2. 2 Pour half of the mixture into a small bowl for later use.
3. 3 Brush the remaining half of the mixture on both sides of the steak.
4. 4 Place the steaks on a medium heat grill and bake until brown (about 10 minutes).
5. 5 Flip the steaks with a metal fork.
6. 6 Drizzle over the other side of the steaks with the remaining sauce half.
7. 7 Bake for another 10 minutes, or until the side is well browned.
8. 8 Pour the rest of the sauce over the steaks just before serving.

Tips

• For an interesting flavor, add your favorite beer instead of pineapple juice or ginger ale.
• If you don't like orange jam, you can use any jam you like. Apple, cherry, or peach jam works well.
• You can use plain water instead of pineapple juice or ginger ale.
• If the liquid has evaporated before the meat is cooked, add more pineapple juice, ginger ale, or some water.
• Lightly sprinkling oil on the grill will prevent the meat from burning.

Warnings

• Most often, the ham is sold ready-made, and the steaks only need to be slightly cooked until fully cooked. Check the labels or ask the seller if they are ready to use. If not, cook the steaks for an additional 10 minutes. You can use a cooking thermometer to check if your meal is ready. The meat inside should be 55 ° C.
• Different grills have different cooking times. Do not overcook the steaks on the grill or they will become tough.
