EQUIPMENT:

  • Whisk
  • Small bowl
  • Paper towel
  • Large skillet

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 lb. Ham steaks
  • ½ tsp. Garlic powder
  • ¼ cup Keto Maple syrup
  • ½ tbsp. Apple cider vinegar
  • Two tsp. Dijon mustard
  • ¼ tsp. pepper powder
  • Two tbsp. Unsalted butter

INGREDIENT NOTES:

HAM STEAK:

  • Ask the butcher or look for them in the grocery store, generally next to the packaged meats. In my neighborhood, I’ve only seen boneless ham steaks, but bone-in ones are also good and will have a little more taste. They are typically precooked and range in thickness from 1/4 to 1 inch.

MAPLE SYRUP:

  • The primary component of the delicious glaze is Keto maple syrup.

BUTTER:

  • We saute the ham steak in the butter because it enriches the taste of the dish as well as butter also serves as a base of ham steak sauce. The best dairy-sensitive alternative would be ghee, which is lactose-free but it is dairy-free. I do not suggest using olive oil or avocado oil because the glaze may become oily.

APPLE CIDER VINEGAR:

  • Apple cider vinegar is needed in a small amount which is just enough to counteract the maple glaze’s sweetness. We can also use Lemon juice as an additional option.

DIJON MUSTARD:

  • Dijon mustard is added for taste and a little kick. We can also utilize normal yellow mustard.

SPICES:

  • The ham steak is already salty, so we don’t need any more salt, so we just season the ham steak with black pepper and garlic powder.

INSTRUCTION:

  1. Paper towels should be used to pat dry the ham steaks.
  2. Take a small bowl and add the Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, black pepper, maple syrup, and garlic powder and mix them with the whisk.
  3. Put the big pan on moderate heat & include the unsalted butter & liquefied the butter. Arrange the ham steak in one layer in the skillet.
  4. Sear the ham steak till it gets golden brown on each side, around three minutes per side.
  5. The ham steaks should be covered with the Keto maple mixture. It should begin to bubble immediately.
  6. The glaze will thicken after about two minutes of simmering, with the ham steaks being turned over regularly.

SERVING SUGGESTION:

  • Serve the ham steak with the mashed cauliflower, crispy roasted cauliflower, or with roasted turnips.
  • Try to pair ham steak with the keto-honey roasted carrots, roasted green beans, or roasted broccoli; it tastes very delicious.
  • We can also make the casserole with this ham steak like ham and cheese casserole, or broccoli, ham & cheese casserole.
  • You can also pair this with egg bites, baked eggs, or crispy bacon to make a delicious and mouthwatering breakfast.

TIPS:

  • Verify if the ham steaks are already done. If they aren’t, make sure they are cooked through (around one-sixty degrees F) before putting the glaze on them. If they begin to brown before going through, you may reduce the heat.
  • Halve the bigger ham steaks. If you have large (8-ounce) ham steaks, I suggest halving them for easy turning and dishing. The steak used in this recipe is 4 ounces.
  • Properly dry the ham steak by utilizing the paper towel. This helps in the caramelization and browning process.
  • Take out your biggest skillet, preferably one that is cast iron. This skillet, which I use, is big enough to cook all four ham steaks at once. If none of them fit together, you will need to cook in batches. For the best browning and quickest cooking, we can also make it in cast iron.
  • It’s simple to double this ham steak recipe because it yields a lot of additional glaze. If you are just making one batch, use the excess glaze to drizzle over the top. If not, use the same pan to fry another set of steaks; the glaze will cover both!

STORAGE INFORMATION:

FRIDGE:

  • Store the remaining ham steak in the fridge for around 3 to 4 days in the sealed box.

REHEAT:

  • We can easily warm-up the skillet on the moderate heat for several minutes.

FREEZER:

  • Store the ham steak for around three months in the sealed bag or sealed bag.
