Ingredients
- 4 pieces ham steaks
- 8 pieces pineapple rings (canned)
- 1 cup pineapple juice (reserved from the can)
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon cooking spray or oil
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, ground ginger, and garlic powder. Stir until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is well combined.
Step 2
Lightly grease a skillet or griddle with cooking spray or oil and heat over medium heat.
Step 3
Place ham steaks on the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side or until lightly browned.
Step 4
Remove ham steaks from the skillet and set aside.
Step 5
Pour the prepared pineapple glaze into the skillet and simmer over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until slightly thickened.
Step 6
Return the ham steaks to the skillet, spooning the glaze over them to coat. Add pineapple rings to the skillet as well.
Step 7
Cover and cook for an additional 5 minutes, turning the ham steaks and pineapple rings halfway through to ensure they are evenly heated and coated in the glaze.
Step 8
Serve immediately or allow to cool completely to prepare for freezing.
Step 9
If freezing, place each ham steak and two pineapple rings into a freezer-safe container or bag, then pour some glaze over the top. Label and freeze for up to 3 months.
Step 10
To reheat from frozen, thaw in the refrigerator overnight and warm in a covered skillet over medium heat until heated through.
