Tips & Substitutions
For best results, choose thick-cut ham steaks that are well-marbled for added flavor. If you don't have apricot or peach marmalade, consider using orange marmalade or even honey as a substitute. Searing over medium-high heat ensures a nice crust while keeping the inside juicy. For an extra flavor boost, add a pinch of black pepper or a dash of mustard on top of the marmalade.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the ham steaks alongside roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal. They also pair beautifully with mashed potatoes or rice pilaf. For a festive touch, consider serving them with a fruit chutney or a side of sweet potato fries. They make a great addition to any brunch spread, perfect for your next Turkey Party.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover ham steaks can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.
