Ingredients:
(Serves 2)
- 1 (8-ounce) bone-in fully cooked ham steak
- 5 tablespoons butter, cubed
- 5 tablespoons brown sugar
Instructions:
1. Prep the Ingredients:
- Gather all ingredients and preheat a large skillet over medium heat.
2. Cook the Ham Steak:
- Place the ham steak in the skillet and cook until lightly browned, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- Remove the ham from the skillet and drain any excess fat.
3. Make the Sauce:
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Stir in the brown sugar until fully dissolved, creating a rich and glossy sauce.
4. Combine and Heat:
- Return the ham steak to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the ham as it cooks, turning the steak often to coat evenly.
- Cook for about 10 minutes until the ham is heated through and the sauce thickens. Reduce the heat if the sugar-butter mixture begins to splatter.
5. Serve:
- Transfer the ham steak to a serving plate and drizzle any remaining sauce over the top. Serve hot and enjoy!
