    Ham Steak Recipe

    When I’m hungering for a warm, cozy plate of holiday supper but don’t want to spend all day cooking, my first thought is ham steaks! There’s nothing like a ham steak and a big plate of mashed potatoes and vegetables for dinner.

    And there’s nothing quite as easy! Paired with a spiced, flavorful ham steak glaze and cooked on a pan just long enough to get a crisp crust, this is the best way to cook ham steaks. And in just ten minutes, it’s done before you know it, and ready to be enjoyed!

    Best yet- this is also a fantastic way to use up leftover ham. Pop a few slices of spiral-cut ham in the pan and give it a whole new life! Or serve up the brown sugar ham steak in sliders or sandwiches for extra flavor.

    Ham Steak Recipes Tips

    • Looking for an even more flavorful glaze? Add a half teaspoon of cinnamon, and swap a teaspoons Dijon mustard out for Honeycup or another favorite.
    • Ham gets tough when it’s overcooked, so be aware of how thick your steaks are and only cook them until they’re cooked through and just browned.
    • If there’s any leftover glaze, save it, and pour it over the steaks at the end!
    • Looking for oven cooking instructions? I’ve included how to cook these steaks in the oven too in case the stove top is busy with sides.
    • My Bourbon Ham Glaze is also delicious if you want to mix things up.
    • If you want a sweet citrus glaze, you can add ¼ cup of pineapple juice or orange juice.

    Ham Steak FAQ

    How long does it take to cook a ham steak?

    Ham steaks are finished cooking in ten minutes on the stove top, and will be finished in 35-45 minutes in the oven. Both options are delicious, and you can choose which to use depending on your tastes!

    Are ham steaks fully cooked?

    Ham steaks are typically smoked, and thus will be fully cooked right out of the packaging. They are safe to eat from the fridge, but will have a much better flavor and texture once glazed and heated through!

    Do you glaze ham before or after cooking?

    Ham should be glazed partway through cooking it, and then again at the end of the cooking time! This goes for ham steaks too, which should be browned before being glazed, and then get a final layer of glaze once fully cooked.

    What is a good side dish to eat with ham?

    Ham steaks are essentially very small versions of a ham dinner, so anything that pairs well with ham will go well with ham steak! I like to serve them with mashed potatoes, green beans, and dinner rolls.

    Ham Steak in the Oven

    1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
    2. Mix the glaze with the above recipe plus added liquid, then pour it in a small baking dish, large enough for the ham steaks without much more room. Add the ham steaks and brush the tops with glaze.
    3. Add enough extra liquid so that the steaks are completely covered, if required. Water or broth works well.
    4. Bake for 35-45 minutes, until the steaks are tender and warmed through and the glaze is beginning to thicken.
    5. Serve, and enjoy!

    Looking for a meal with less hands-on time? Then follow these instructions for how to cook ham steak in the oven! It’s just as delicious- just make sure to use more liquid in the glaze, like broth or water.

    What to Serve with Ham Steaks

    • Scalloped Potatoes
    • Au Gratin Potatoes
    • Garlic Butter Green Beans
    • Creamy Mashed Potatoes
