Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 (18 oz.) ham steak
  • 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp. black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp. butter
  • 1 cup chopped pineapple (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cut the ham steak into 4 portions. Set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, garlic powder, and black pepper. Set aside.
  3. Melt the butter in a large skillet set over medium heat until it’s foamy. Swirl it around and then add the ham steaks in a single layer.
  4. Cook ham steaks until browned underneath, 3-4 minutes. Sprinkle tops with all of the brown sugar mixture and then flip them over. Move them around in the pan a bit to let the sugar mix with the butter.
  5. Cook ham until browned underneath, 2-3 minutes. Flip ham over to coat the other side in the glaze and then remove the ham from the skillet.
  6. Immediately add the pineapple, if using. Stir to coat in the remaining sugar syrup the cook just to heat it through.
  7. Remove from skillet and serve the glazed ham topped with sweet pineapple.
