Ingredients

• 2 pieces (about 8 oz each) ham steaks
• 3 tablespoons brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 3 tablespoons pineapple juice
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 0.25 teaspoons ground cloves
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by patting the ham steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Set them aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, pineapple juice, ground cloves, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and consistent.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter. Allow the butter to melt fully, coating the pan.

Step 4

Place the ham steaks in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are slightly browned and heated through. Remove the ham steaks from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour the glaze mixture into the skillet. Stir frequently, allowing the glaze to simmer for 2-3 minutes or until it thickens slightly.

Step 6

Return the ham steaks to the skillet, spooning the glaze over them to coat evenly. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, flipping once to ensure both sides are covered.

Step 7

Remove the ham steaks from the skillet and transfer to serving plates. Drizzle any remaining glaze from the skillet over the top.

Step 8

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