Ingredients

• 4 pieces Thick-cut ham slices
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 1.5 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
• 1 piece Lemon wedge (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by patting the ham slices dry with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture. This helps achieve a nice sear.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Once the skillet is hot, add 2 ham slices at a time. Sear them for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the edges caramelize and develop a golden-brown crust. Remove the cooked slices and set them aside. Repeat with the remaining ham slices, adding more olive oil if necessary.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining butter to the skillet. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the red chili flakes, honey, soy sauce, smoked paprika, and ground black pepper. Stir well to combine and allow the sauce to simmer for 1-2 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 6

Return the seared ham slices to the skillet, spooning the spicy glaze over each piece to thoroughly coat them. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 7

Remove from heat and transfer the ham slices to a serving plate. Optionally, garnish with fresh chopped parsley and a squeeze of lemon juice for added brightness.

Step 8

Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a crisp green salad.
