My first making a ham steak ever! Yes, I could imagine what this would taste like; the flavor profile is familiar- but! It was better than I expected – plus super easy and super quick. I added a sliced onion when I added the butter; I like more savory to offset the sweet brown sugar. We really liked this! Thanks CassieB!
Easy, quick & delicious.
I have been making ham steaks for years. This was just wonderful and so easy to make! Always tender. Sometimes I will add cloves and pineapple. My family loves it either with or without the added cloves and pineapple, depends if I have it on hand.
My family loves this recipe. It’s been a favorite for years.
Suppppeerrrrr easy. I’m a beginner at cooking and this was so simple to make and it came out delicious! I added half a table spoon more of brown sugar bc I like my stuff sweet and it was perfect. Super glad I did that!
My son loved this dish. We loved it so much I cooked it 2 days in a row.
Yum!
This is absolutely fantastic! The whole family loved it, even my granddaughter who generally only eats chicken. She num nummed her way through her supper and kept saying Mamaw makes good ham haha she’s 3 but we now have a new meat option. Thank you!! So quick and easy, delicious
I braved it and did it. Took way longer to cook since I had a really thick ham steak. I also cut down butter and sugar to 4 tbs each and it worked out fine. Was looking for something like this and I’m glad I found your recipe.
Absolutely delicious! Like other’s mentioned, I just used enough butter to coat bottom of pan. THen Sprinkled brown sugar on each side of ham and cooked a few minutes on each side
Pretty good! The family loves it and it wasn’t as sweet as she thought it was going to be
I didn’t change a thing, and it was delicious! Such a simple way to add to an old favorite, I’ll use this again and again!
Super simple and delicious. I will be making this again and again.
Super easy. Was pretty good
It’s very good. My problem was the brown sugar did not dissolve totally. So some of it got hard. I don’t know what I did wrong because I followed the recipe exactly.
We thought this was delicious., easy, and fast. The ham was not dry and the glaze was good. The glaze had a little sweetness without being overly sweet. I didn’t cover the ham with water. I put the water level half way up the ham steak. I lined a sheet pan with foil and made a foil packet to hold the ham, glaze, and water. It worked well with this ham and made clean up easy.
I’d lower the cooking time to 1-2 min each side as it was getting…a little too cooked. 5 tablespoons of brown sugar and butter is WAY too much. Definitely need to tone it down to 1 or 0.5.
It turned out delicious. My husband really likes it. I like it too. Found it so easy and so good. I will be making this again.
Very good quick drink easy to make! I reduced the butter and sugar in half and added mustard. Husband loved it, will make again.
I was scrolling through trying to find something to make for dinner tonight and seen this. I’ve been making this for many years and somewhat in the same way. The only difference I do is I add a touch of ground cumin and honey to the brown sugar. I also at times add pineapple to the pan. Happy creative cooking!
Served with scalloped potatoes and it was an excellent meal for a low effort dish that was on the table in less than 30 minutes. Had a ham steak in the fridge that I usually use for breakfasts, so it was a nice unexpected comfort meal. Also, the sauce seemed to cut the saltiness of the ham.
