Sear the Ham

Cook the ham steak for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, or until it is nicely browned and heated through. The internal temperature should reach 140°F (60°C). Use a meat thermometer to check.

5

Season and Plate

Remove the ham steak from the skillet. Transfer to a plate and sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper, or to your desired seasoning.

Recipe Tips

  • For a sweeter flavor, consider adding a touch of brown sugar or maple syrup to the pan while cooking.
  • If you don’t have a meat thermometer, ensure the ham steak is hot to the touch and no longer pink in the center.
  • Use a cast iron skillet for best results in searing the steak, it retains heat better.
  • Store any leftover ham in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat thoroughly before eating.
