Honey Ham Slice

This is hands down the easiest, yet tastiest weekday dinner you will ever make.  The ham takes at most 10 minutes to make.  My mom would always make this and serve it with mac and cheese.  I find this to be the best side for it because the sauce for the ham goes great with the cheese.  It is also a great meal if you are cooking for 2 for a holiday meal like Christmas. You get a great flavorful ham, without having to eat ham leftovers for the next month. 

Honey Ham Slice

From the Kitchen of: Lisa Murphy

Makes: 2-3 servings    Start to finish: 10 minutes

 

1 one lb ham steak with center bone

2 Tablespoons honey, divided

2 Tablespoons brown sugar, divided

1 tsp ground mustard powder, divided

 

When cutting open the ham package make sure to pure the juice from the ham into a   10 inch non stick pan.  Cut the ham steak into the portion sizes you would like.  Using kitchen shears works best I find.  Place half of the honey, sugar, and ground mustard  the pan followed by the ham pieces. cook on medium heat for about 5 mins, then turn and cook another 5.  Make sure not to cook too long or the ham will dry out.  If making mac and cheese with this, I find it best to be cooking the ham by the time the pasta goes in the water.  There should be some juice left in the pan.  Place the ham pieces on the plate you are serving them then crank the heat for the pan up to high and cook off some of the moisture in the juice to make a nice sauce to put over the ham.
