What is Ham Steak?
Ham steak is a slice of ham from a whole ham roast and is often sold boneless and pre-cooked. (They can also come with a bone in the middle, both types cook the same way). Ensure your package says “fully cooked”.
Ham steaks are super convenient when roasting a whole ham takes too much time. Like bacon, ham steaks add a lot of flavor to sandwiches, soups, and salads and can be eaten at any mealtime! Look for steaks that are uniform in size and thickness, are deep pink and layered with a few ribbons of fat for a tender and moist steak!
How to Cook Ham Steak
This simple weeknight meal is as easy as 1, 2, 3!

What to Serve with Ham Steak

Leftover ham steaks have so many different uses! Put slices between toasted ciabatta bread for a hearty sandwich or dice up and toss on top of a bed of greens for an easy, work-day salad!

Hi! This looks delicious and can’t wait to try it. Should I brush the glaze over both sides of the steaks, or just one side? Thanks for any advice :)
I brush the glaze over both sides for maximum flavor. Enjoy Julie!
