Grilled Ham Steak
Description
This recipe starts by preheating a grill to medium heat, around 350-400°F, for steady cooking. Meanwhile, a glaze is prepared by whisking together brown sugar, honey, and Dijon mustard, which imparts sweetness and a slight tang. The ham steak is placed over direct heat and brushed with the glaze, then covered and cooked for 4-5 minutes to allow the glaze to caramelize without burning.
After flipping the ham, the other side is also basted and cooked similarly. The brief grilling heats the ham through and crisps the glaze surface, enhancing the flavor and texture contrast. The final serving is immediate, preserving juiciness and the warm glaze.
This dish pairs well with simple sides like grilled vegetables or potatoes and can be quickly prepared for dinner or lunch. The use of a sweet and mustard-based glaze balances the saltiness of the ham steak while creating an appealing sticky coating.
Ingredients
- 1 pound ham steak
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
Instructions
- Preheat a grill over medium heat (approximately 350-400 degrees F). While the grill is preheating, whisk together the brown sugar, honey and dijon mustard together in a small bowl.
- Place the heat steak on the grill over direct heat and brush the top of the ham steak with the brown sugar glaze. Cover and cook for 4-5 minutes.
- Flip the ham steak, baste the other side of the ham steak. Cover and cook for 4 more minutes until the ham is heated through.
- Serve immediately while warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Maple syrup can be substituted for honey in the glaze for a different sweetness profile.
- Store leftover ham steak in an airtight container or ziplock bag in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Monitor the grill temperature carefully to prevent burning the glaze on the ham steak.
