Thick-sliced country ham steak pan-fried until golden is a salty, savory Southern breakfast rich in protein. This family tradition pairs perfectly with eggs, grits, and red-eye gravy.
Pat the country ham steak dry with paper towels to ensure a good sear and even browning.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter, allowing it to melt and just begin to foam.
Place the ham steak flat in the skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes on the first side without moving, until a deep golden crust forms.
Flip the ham steak, sprinkle with brown sugar and black pepper, then add water to the edge of the skillet to help create a flavorful glaze.
Continue cooking for another 3–4 minutes, spooning the glaze over the steak, until the ham is heated through and the surface is well caramelized. Serve immediately.
