Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider marinating the ham steak in soy sauce and chopped green onions before roasting. If you don't have ham steak, smoked sausage can be a great alternative. Ensure the potatoes are cut into even pieces for uniform cooking. You can also use leftover vegetables from dishes like 4 Bean Dish to enhance this meal.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the sliced ham steak alongside roasted potatoes and steamed green beans for a complete meal. Drizzle a bit of extra soy sauce over the dish for added flavor. This dish pairs beautifully with Mom-Mom'S Beef Stew for a heartier family dinner or with a fresh salad for a lighter option.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the ham and potatoes in a microwave-safe dish, cover, and heat in short intervals until warmed through. Alternatively, you can reheat in an oven at 350°F until heated thoroughly, ensuring the ham remains moist.
