Ingredients:
- 1 ham steak (1-1 1/4 lbs)
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions:
- Preheat Grill:
- Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 350 degrees Fahrenheit).
- Prepare Glaze:
- In a saucepan over low heat, combine the brown sugar, honey, Dijon mustard, and apple cider vinegar. Simmer the mixture over low heat until the brown sugar is completely dissolved.
- Grill the Ham Steak:
- Place the ham steak on the preheated grill over direct heat.
- Brush the top of the ham steak with the prepared brown sugar glaze.
- Cook for 4 minutes with the lid closed.
- Flip the ham steak, brush the other side with more glaze, and cook for an additional 4 minutes with the lid closed.
- Serve:
- Once grilled to perfection, remove the ham steak from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes.
- Slice and serve the grilled ham steak with any remaining glaze drizzled on top.
Notes:
- Ham Steak Selection: Bone-in ham steaks are the most tender and flavorful.
- Sweetener Substitute: You can use pure maple syrup instead of honey in the glaze.
- Grilling Tips: Keep an eye on the grill to prevent flare-ups.
- Seasoning: Season with salt and pepper to taste, but go easy on the salt as ham is already cured with salt.
- Leftovers: Store any leftovers in a large zipper bag or airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Enjoy this quick and flavorful grilled ham steak with brown sugar glaze as a delicious main course for any occasion, from weeknight dinners to backyard gatherings!
