Ingredients

• 1 pound ham steak
• 0.25 cup pure maple syrup
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Pat the ham steak dry using paper towels to remove any surface moisture and set it aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the unsalted butter.

Step 4

Once the butter is melted and simmering, place the ham steak in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side until golden brown.

Step 5

Flip the ham steak and pour the maple glaze mixture evenly over the top.

Step 6

Allow the ham steak to cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, spooning the glaze over the top frequently as it thickens. Ensure the internal temperature of the ham steak reaches at least 140°F (60°C).

Step 7

Once the glaze has thickened and the ham steak is heated through, remove it from the skillet and transfer to a serving plate.

Step 8

Drizzle any remaining glaze from the skillet over the ham steak.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve immediately. Enjoy!
