Maple Glazed Ham Steak
Spiral hams are undeniably tasty, but they often leave you with more meat than you need. When you're in the mood for ham without the effort of roasting a whole one, ham steaks are the perfect solution! Cooked with sautéed kale and a rich maple sauce, these ham steaks are quick to prepare and develop a deliciously crispy exterior. They’re also ideal for a small holiday gathering—skip the full roast and serve individual portions of these perfectly cooked, savory-sweet steaks.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
