Best 5 Mustard Maple Ham Steaks With Cider Madeira Sauce Recipes

MUSTARD-MAPLE HAM STEAKS WITH CIDER-MADEIRA SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Place bay leaves in 15x10x2-inch glass baking dish. Place ham steaks side by side in dish, overlapping slightly if necessary. Pour 1 1/2 cups apple cider over ham steaks (cider will not cover steaks). Whisk 2 tablespoons maple syrup and mustard in small bowl to blend; spread over top of ham steaks, dividing equally. Sprinkle with pepper. Bake ham steaks 40 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine 1 cup apple cider, 1 tablespoon maple syrup and Madeira in medium saucepan. Boil until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 15 minutes.
• Spoon sauce over ham and serve.

MAPLE-GLAZED FRESH HAM WITH HARD CIDER SAUCE

Steps:

• If brining the ham, combine salt and white sugar with 2 quarts water in a pot large enough to fit the ham comfortably. Stir well to dissolve. Add ham, cover, and place in refrigerator for 12 to 24 hours. Remove, rinse well, and dry with paper towels.
• In a small bowl, combine raisins and rum and allow to sit while ham cooks, at least 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Place brown sugar, sage, mustard, lemon zest, garlic, salt and peppercorns in a blender or a food processor fitted with a steel blade, and process until smooth.
• Using a sharp knife, score entire surface of ham in a crosshatch pattern, cutting down just through skin to the flesh underneath. (If you are cutting to the right depth, the skin will spread apart a bit as you cut.) Rub outside of ham all over with spice mixture, pressing it gently into crosshatch spaces between the skin. Put roast on a rack in a large roasting pan and place in oven.
• After 20 minutes, reduce oven setting to 300 degrees. After 1 hour, begin painting ham every 15 minutes or so with maple syrup. Continue roasting until the very center of ham reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees, 2 to 2 1/2 hours total cooking time. (Begin checking at 1 1/2 hours to be sure.) To check for doneness, insert a meat thermometer into the absolute center of the roast, let it sit for 5 seconds, then take the reading.
• While ham is cooking, place cider in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium high, and simmer vigorously until liquid is reduced by about half, about 20 minutes.
• When ham is done, remove it from roasting pan, cover it loosely with foil, and allow it to rest for 20 to 30 minutes. Tip roasting pan to the side so you can spoon off all the fat from pan juices, then place pan on stove over medium-high heat. Add reduced cider, and bring to a simmer, scraping bottom of pan to free the browned bits. Skim any film off surface and season liquid as needed with salt and pepper. Add rum-soaked raisins, along with any remaining rum, and stir to combine. Pour into a gravy boat.
• Carve ham into thick slices, drizzle with raisin-cider sauce and serve, passing remaining sauce separately.

MUSTARD-MAPLE HAM STEAKS WITH CIDER-MADEIRA SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place bay leaves in 15x10x2-inch glass baking dish. Place ham steaks side-by-side in dish, overlapping slightly, if necessary. Pur 1-1/2 cups cider over ham (more than likely, the cider will not cover the ham.).
• Whisk 2 T. maple syrup and mustard in a small bowl to blend; spread over top of ham steaks. Sprinkle with pepper. Bake ham steaks for 40 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine 1 cup apple cider, 1 T. maple syrup, and the Madeira in a medium saucepan. Boil until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 15 minutes.
• Spoon sauce over ham and serve.

HAM STEAKS WITH MADEIRA SAUCE

Steps:

• Remove any excess fat from each ham steak.
• Cut the apples into quarters. Cut away and discard the cores. Peel the quarters.
• Use 2 skillets, preferably nonstick, large enough to hold the ham pieces. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in each skillet. Add 1 tablespoon of shallots to each skillet. Cook briefly, stirring, and add one ham steak to each skillet.
• Arrange one quartered apple around each steak. Spoon half the Madeira over the apples in each skillet. Cover closely and cook 5 minutes. Transfer the ham steaks to a hot platter and arrange the partly cooked apples around or over the pieces of meat.
• Pour the cooking liquid from one skillet into the other skillet. Add the 2 remaining tablespoons of wine, the tomato paste and mustard, and stir to blend. Bring to a simmer, swirl in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and pour the sauce over the ham and apples.
