Main Ingredients

Optional Garnishes

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ham Steak

    Remove the ham steak from its packaging and pat it dry with paper towels. This helps to ensure a nice glaze later.

  2. 2

    Make the Glaze

    In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, Dijon mustard, ground clove, and freshly ground black pepper until well combined. This will create a thick glaze.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Preheat the Grill or Oven

    Preheat your grill to medium heat or your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. 4

    Apply the Glaze

    Brush half of the glaze mixture over one side of the ham steak, ensuring it's evenly coated.

  3. 5

    Cook the Ham Steak

    Place the ham steak on the grill or in the oven. If grilling, cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side. If using the oven, bake for about 20-25 minutes, basting with additional glaze halfway through.

  4. 6

    Add Pineapple (Optional)

    If using, place pineapple slices on the grill or in the oven during the last 5 minutes of cooking to caramelize them.

  5. 7

    Rest and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the ham steak from heat and let it rest for about 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve with the caramelized pineapple slices.
