Ingredients:
- 2 large ham steaks (about 1/2-inch thick)
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is smooth.
- Cook the ham steaks: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the ham steaks and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are heated through and lightly browned.
- Add the glaze: Pour the maple glaze over the ham steaks in the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, turning the steaks occasionally to coat them evenly with the glaze. Allow the glaze to thicken slightly and caramelize, but be careful not to burn it.
- Serve: Remove the ham steaks from the skillet and place them on a serving platter. Spoon any remaining glaze from the skillet over the top. Garnish with freshly ground black pepper and chopped parsley if desired.
