Ingredients

• 2 pieces (approximately 8 ounces each) ham steaks
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon, chopped (optional for garnish) fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt and coat the pan evenly.

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, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and let it melt. Stir in the brown sugar, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper.

Step 4

Cook the glaze over medium heat, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.

Step 5

Return the ham steaks to the skillet and spoon the glaze over them to coat thoroughly. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, turning the ham steaks once, until heated through and well glazed.

Step 6

Transfer the ham steaks to serving plates and drizzle any remaining glaze from the skillet over the top.

Step 7

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
