Cooking steps

1

Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish for the ham steaks.
2

Add butter to a small saucepan and melt over medium heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
3

Mix in brown sugar, Dijon mustard, and black pepper to the melted butter. Stir until the glaze is thickened and uniform.
4

Arrange the ham steaks in the prepared baking dish. Pour the glaze evenly over both steaks, making sure to coat the tops completely.
5

Bake uncovered for 22–28 minutes, basting the ham steaks halfway through with pan juices, until the glaze bubbles and the steaks are hot throughout. Serve immediately.

Personalized Q&A

Q. What's the key ingredient in this recipe?

The thick-cut ham steaks are the foundation and star of this dish. Their savory, smoky flavor and substantial texture create the base, while the brown sugar glaze adds a sweet and tangy finish.

Q. How do I ensure the glaze caramelizes without burning?

Bake at 375°F and baste halfway through. Don’t cover the dish, and monitor for bubbling glaze around the edges. The medium oven temperature is ideal for a thick, glossy finish without risk of burning.

Q. How do I avoid ham steaks drying out?

Basting with the pan juices during baking keeps the ham moist. The glaze acts as a moisture barrier; avoid overbaking by checking the steaks after 22 minutes and serving promptly.

Q. How many calories and what is the protein-to-carb ratio per serving?

Each 200g serving provides about 325 kcal, with 29g protein and 17g carbs. Protein contributes 36% of calories, carbs about 21%, making this a protein-rich option that’s also diabetic friendly.
