Ingredients
  • 1 Ham Steak (1/2 inch thick)
  • 2 tablespoons Honey
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard
  • 1 cup Pineapple (diced)
  • 1/4 cup Red Onion (finely diced)
  • 1/2 Jalapeño (seeded and finely diced)
  • 2 tablespoons Cilantro (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon Lime Juice
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
  • to taste Salt
  • to taste Black Pepper

Prepare the Pineapple Salsa

In a medium bowl, combine the diced pineapple, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro. Add the lime juice, a drizzle of olive oil, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and set aside. This allows the flavors to meld while you prepare the ham.

Make the Honey-Mustard Glaze

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey and Dijon mustard until smooth. This glaze will add a delightful sweetness and tang to the ham.

Cook the Ham Steak

Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the ham steak in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until heated through and lightly browned.

Glaze the Ham

During the last minute of cooking, brush the honey-mustard glaze evenly over both sides of the ham steak. Let the glaze caramelize slightly, creating a beautiful and flavorful crust. Watch carefully to avoid burning.

Serve

Remove the ham steak from the skillet and place it on a serving plate. Top with the prepared pineapple salsa. Serve immediately and enjoy!

FAQ

  • Can I use canned pineapple for the salsa?

    Yes, you can use canned pineapple, but be sure to drain it well to avoid a watery salsa. Fresh pineapple is always preferred for the best flavor.
  • Can I use a different type of mustard?

    Yes, you can experiment with different mustards. Stone-ground mustard or even a spicy brown mustard would work well, but adjust the amount to your taste.
  • How do I prevent the honey glaze from burning?

    Keep the heat at medium and watch the ham closely while glazing. The honey glaze can burn quickly. If it starts to burn, reduce the heat immediately.
