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!

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!

  1. I’ve made these a few times now, A fantastic recipe…..Tonight I’m trying the glaze on smoked pork chops, I’m certain it will be just as yummy , Thanks for sharing this wonderful recipe 5 stars

  2. I’d like to make this for a crowd for Easter brunch. Could I pan fry it the day before and reheat it in the oven in the morning?

  3. 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 :)
