1
Prepare the Ham Steak
Take the country ham steak out of the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 15-20 minutes. This helps it cook more evenly.
2
Season the Steak
Sprinkle the brown sugar and black pepper evenly over both sides of the ham steak, creating a nice crust.
3
Heat the Pan
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Ensure it is evenly coated across the pan.
4
Cook the Ham Steak
Once the butter is melted and bubbling, carefully place the ham steak in the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on one side until a nice golden crust forms.
5
Flip and Add Water
Flip the ham steak to the other side. Pour in the water around the steak, cover the skillet with a lid, and let it simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes. This step will help keep the steak moist.
6
Check for Doneness
After 5-7 minutes, check the internal temperature of the ham steak. It should reach at least 145°F (63°C). If not, cover and cook for a few more minutes.
7
Serve
Once cooked, remove the ham steak from the skillet and let it rest for a couple of minutes before slicing. Serve warm, optionally with the pan juices drizzled over the top.
