Ingredients
- 1 large (approximately 1 pound) Ham steak
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 pinch Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
Step 2
Pat the ham steak dry with a paper towel and lightly season both sides with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Step 3
Place the ham steak in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned. Remove the ham steak from the skillet and set aside.
Step 4
Reduce the heat to low and add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter to the skillet. Let the butter melt completely.
Step 5
Stir in 3 tablespoons of brown sugar, 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice, and 1 teaspoon of lime zest. Continuously stir the mixture as it begins to bubble and thicken slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 6
Return the ham steak to the skillet and spoon the glaze over the steak to ensure it is fully coated. Cook for an additional 4-5 minutes, turning occasionally, until the glaze clings to the ham and becomes caramelized.
Step 7
Remove the ham steak from the skillet and allow it to rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Step 8
Serve warm with your favorite side dishes, such as mashed potatoes or sautéed vegetables.
