Pan-Roasting or Pan-Frying
Ham steaks are a natural for cooking in a hot pan over moderate heat. The outside of the ham caramelizes slightly, giving the meat an irresistible crispy exterior to counter its moist interior. Heat the pan and add a bit of cooking spray or a teaspoon of cooking oil. Cook for about 3 minutes each side for thin ham steaks, or 5 to 8 minutes per side for thick-cut versions. Tip
Once the steaks are browned on each side, remove them from the pan to make an easy vegetable accompaniment. Place chopped carrots, summer squash and onions in the lingering warm oil and cook over medium heat until fragrant and softened. Add fresh herbs, such as thyme and chives, or dried thyme along with a splash of chicken broth, salt and pepper before serving. Use the same method with a chopped apple and sweet onion to make a sauteed apple and onion pan sauce. Baked sweet potatoes, winter squash, cranberry relish and biscuits are other natural side dishes for ham steaks. Grilling or Broiling
Ham steaks are fully cooked, so you can heat them up on a grill in less time than it takes to cook burgers or steaks.
