Ingredients

• 2 pieces (about 8 oz each) ham steaks
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium, thinly sliced yellow onion
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1.5 cups chicken broth
• 0.5 cups milk
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 tablespoon, chopped (optional) fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons (adjust to taste) salt

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add 1 tablespoon of butter and swirl to coat the skillet.

Step 2

Place the ham steaks in the skillet and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned. Remove the ham steaks from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Step 3

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium-low and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the sliced onions and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring frequently, until soft and caramelized.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Sprinkle the flour over the onions and garlic, stirring constantly to create a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes to eliminate the raw flour taste.

Step 6

Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and milk, ensuring no lumps form. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and let it cook for 3-4 minutes until the gravy thickens.

Step 7

Stir in the Dijon mustard, honey, black pepper, and salt. Taste the gravy and adjust the seasoning as needed.

Step 8

Return the ham steaks to the skillet, spooning the gravy over them. Let the ham steaks warm through for 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve immediately with mashed potatoes or your favorite side dish.
