Ingredients

  • 1 pound Ham steak
  • 3 tablespoons Molasses
  • 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 0.25 teaspoon Ground cloves
  • 1 tablespoon Butter
  • 0.25 teaspoon Salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the molasses, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, Dijon mustard, ground cloves, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Set aside.

Step 3

Add the butter to the skillet and let it melt, swirling to coat the pan.

Step 4

Place the ham steak in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until it begins to brown.

Step 5

Flip the ham steak and reduce the heat to medium-low. Pour the molasses glaze over the ham steak, spreading it evenly across the surface with a spoon or brush.

Step 6

Let the ham steak cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, occasionally spooning the glaze from the pan back over the top to ensure the ham absorbs the flavors.

Step 7

Once the glaze thickens and the ham is heated through, remove the skillet from the heat.

Step 8

Transfer the ham steak to a serving plate and drizzle any remaining glaze from the pan over the top.

Step 9

Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crisp salad.
