Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb ham steaks bone-in or boneless
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 3.5 tbsp honey
  • 2.5 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp whole-grain mustard optional for texture
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp light brown sugar
  • 0.33 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tsp minced garlic
  • 0.5 tsp smoked paprika optional
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp cornstarch for thickening
  • 1 tbsp water to make slurry
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter to finish the glaze
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley for garnish, optional

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Whisk honey, both mustards, vinegar, brown sugar, garlic, paprika, pepper, and broth in a bowl.
  • Stir cornstarch with water until smooth; set the slurry aside.
  • Pat ham steaks dry. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Sear ham 2–3 minutes per side until browned. Transfer to a plate.
  • Pour the honey mustard mixture into the skillet. Simmer and scrape up browned bits.
  • Whisk in the slurry. Cook, stirring, until thick and glossy, 1–2 minutes.
  • Return ham to the pan and turn to coat. Warm through for 2–3 minutes.
  • Remove from heat. Stir in butter, sprinkle parsley, and serve with extra glaze.

Notes

Try a splash of bourbon or orange juice in the glaze for a twist. Serve with creamy mashed potatoes and green beans. Leftovers keep 3–4 days refrigerated; reheat gently so the glaze stays silky.
