Ingredients

• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 0.5 cup pineapple juice
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 teaspoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the brown sugar, pineapple juice, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, honey, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, smoked paprika, and ground black pepper.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and whisk together until the ingredients are fully combined and the sugar has dissolved.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with water to create a slurry. Slowly pour the slurry into the saucepan while constantly stirring to avoid lumps.

Step 4

Continue cooking the sauce, stirring frequently, for 5-7 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 5

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the unsalted butter until melted and fully incorporated. This will add a rich, silky finish to the sauce.

Step 6

Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed. If it's too sweet, add a splash more vinegar; if it needs more depth, add another dash of soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce.

Step 7

Drizzle the sauce over cooked ham steak, or use it as a glaze by brushing it on the steak during the last few minutes of cooking. Serve immediately and enjoy!
