Sauteed Ham Steak Pineapple
Another favorite in the Morrison-Jackson Household. I like it because everything cooks up in a large skillet. There's some jockeying of materials from place to place -- reserve this, reserve that -- but that's ok with me, because I'm not dirtying too many dishes. This is super-yummy and pretty easy.
Sauteed Ham Steak Pineapple
(Sara Moulton, Food Network)
2 (1/2-inch thick) ham steaks (I use the ones without the bone)
4 T butter
1 T whole-grain mustard
3 8-oz cans pineapple chunks, reserve liquid
1/4 cup orange juice
1 T Dijon mustard
Salt, fresh ground black pepper
From ham steak, remove rind and trim off all but a 1/4-inch of outer fat. Cut ham into 4 serving pieces. (Note: the ham steaks I buy don't usually have a lot of fat, so I just cut 'em up and throw 'em in the skillet.)
In a large saute pan/skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 T butter. Add ham steaks; saute for 3 minutes each sidee, until they're lightly browned. Remove and reserve (cover with foil).
Blot pineapples as dry as possible. Add remaining 2 T butter to pan. Add pineapple and saute until the edges begin to caramelize, about 4-5 minutes. Remove pineapple and reserve. Add orange and pineapple juices to the pan and reduce by 1/2, about 5-6 minutes (always seems to take longer to me). Whisk in Dijon and whole-grain mustards. Transfer ham steaks back into the pan. Add pineapple chunks and toss. Heat through thoroughly. Season, to taste.
