Don’t wait for a special occasion, this brown sugar glazed ham is the perfect dish to serve on any night. The sweet glaze is delicious and goes perfectly with the ham. Plus, it's easy to make and only takes a few minutes to put together.
Melt butter in a heavy skillet; a cast iron skillet works well. Brown the ham steak on both sides, about 2-3 minutes on each side.
Transfer the ham steak to a small plate, cover, and keep the ham warm while you make the glaze.
Add the water, dijon mustard, and brown sugar to the skillet. Stir ingredients until mixed and cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until the brown sugar is dissolved.
Serve the ham steak drizzled with the brown sugar glaze.
Notes
Preheat the Pan: Make sure your pan is heated properly before adding the ham steak. A medium-high heat is usually ideal.Avoid Overcrowding: If you're cooking multiple steaks, avoid overcrowding the pan, as this can lower the temperature and cause the ham to steam rather than fry.Pat Dry the Steak: Pat your ham steak dry before placing it in the pan. This can help achieve a nice, caramelized sear.Watch the Cooking Time: Ham steaks cook quickly, typically needing only a few minutes per side. Avoid overcooking, as it can cause the ham to become tough and dry.Room Temperature Ingredients: The mustard will mix better if its at room temperature.
