What is Ham Steak?
Ham steak is simply a slice of ham that’s cut from a whole ham roast. It’s most often sold boneless and pre-cooked, which makes it a super convenient meal option. You can also find ham steaks with a bone in the middle, which cook the same way.
When you don’t have time to bake a whole ham, ham steaks are the answer. They can be used in sandwiches, soups, and salads, and can be enjoyed for any meal. When selecting ham steaks, ensure that your package says “fully cooked” so you know you’re getting a pre-cooked ham steak.
How to Cook Ham Steak
This simple weeknight meal is ready in less than 10 minutes.
- Fry ham steaks in a skillet with butter.
- Combine glaze ingredients and brush over ham steaks.
- Continue to cook until the glaze is cooked onto the steaks.
What to Serve with Ham Steak
Serve with a dollop of mustard and add a few tasty sides like garlic mashed potatoes or parmesan roasted broccoli along with this tasty Caesar salad.
For breakfast, serve alongside a cheesy hashbrown casserole, or top with a poached egg!
Leftovers
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!
To store, just keep them in a zippered bag in the refrigerator and when it’s time to reheat, pop it in the microwave or reheat in a skillet with a little extra maple syrup and Dijon mustard to refresh the flavors!

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
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?
That should work just fine Stephanie!
Do you have a favorite brand/type of ham steak? I’ve never made ham before!
Any ham steak should work just fine PC! Enjoy!
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!
