As we approach autumn, I look forward to the fresh apple cider that is abundant at that time. And I look for many ways to incorporate it in my cooking. Sweet and salty, the ham is great served with roasted potatoes and applesauce for a fine fall meal.

Steps:

JAMBON BRAISE AU MADERE (BRAISED HAM W/MADEIRA SAUCE - FRANCE)
This recipe from *The Best Ever French Cooking Course* cookbook by Carole Clements & Elizabeth Wolf-Cohen really impressed me as an easy way to turn an ordinary ham steak into something extraordinary & definitely company-worthy. Per the intro, "The Morvan district of Burgundy is known for producing fine quality, mild cured hams. Accompanied by this rich Madeira sauce, a simple ham steak is transformed into an elegant dish." Served w/the sauce & a simple side of creamy mashed potatoes, the pic had me drooling as I typed ... but be sure to read my note at the end of the prep. *Enjoy* !

- Sprinkle over the flour & cook for 3-4 min till well-browned, stirring constantly. Whisk in the stock + tomato puree & season to taste w/salt & pepper. Simmer over low heat till the sauce is reduced by nearly half, stirring occ.
- Taste the sauce & adjust seasoning as desired. Add the Madeira wine & cook for 2-3 minutes. (The sauce can be made up to 3 dys in advance, chilled & then rewarmed to serve.).
- Snip the edges of the ham steaks to prevent curling. Melt the remaining butter in a lrg fry pan over med-high heat. Add the ham steaks & cook 4-5 min (turning once) till the meat feels firm to the touch. Serve immediately w/the sauce.
- *Notes* ~ This is where I often go astray w/a recipe - a point where I begin to think about a better (or easier) way to do something or a way I pers prefer. *For example* ~ 1) The recipe said to strain the sauce at the end of Prep Step 3, but I deleted that as I rarely see it as beneficial & certainly not w/this recipe as the sauce has no food solids other than finely minced shallots -- 2) I esp like that this sauce can be made ahead & rewarmed to serve, but I'd be more than reluctant to walk away from the lovely pan drippings from cooking the ham steaks -- so I'd be inclined to rewarm the sauce in that same pan to add to the rich flavor of the sauce b4 serving.
Tips:
- To ensure the ham steaks are cooked evenly, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature; they should be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- If you don't have Madeira wine, you can substitute dry sherry, white wine, or even chicken broth.
- To make a gluten-free version of this dish, use gluten-free soy sauce or tamari.
- If you like your sauce thicker, you can simmer it for a few minutes longer.
- Serve the ham steaks with mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
Conclusion:
This classic ham steak recipe with Madeira sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The ham steaks are tender and juicy, and the Madeira sauce is rich and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
