Pork is delightful on its own, more so when paired with sweet and tangy apples. This article presents two lip-smacking ways to cook ham steak with apples: sautéing and grilling. The sautéed version is a quick and easy one-pan meal, perfect for busy weeknights. Simply brown the ham steak in butter, then add sliced apples, brown sugar, and apple cider vinegar. Simmer until the apples are tender and the sauce has thickened. The grilled ham steak with apples is a flavorful dish that's perfect for summer cookouts. Marinate the ham steak in a mixture of apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, and spices, then grill until cooked through. Serve with grilled apple slices and a drizzle of the marinade. Both recipes are easy to follow and can be tailored to your taste preferences. So, fire up your stove or grill and let's get cooking!

GRILLED HAM STEAKS WITH SAUTEED SWEET POTATOES, CORN AND CARAMELIZED APPLES
Steps:
- Combine the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the ham slices to coat all of the pieces. Heat a large grill pan over medium-high heat. Drain the pineapple chunks from the juice in the can. Add the ham and the pineapple chunks to the hot pan, and cook for approximately 20 minutes, or until the slices are golden brown. Reserve the liquid in the pan for the Sauteed Sweet Potatoes and Corn.
- Serve over lettuce with the Sauteed Sweet Potatoes, Corn, and Caramelized Apples.
- Bring a medium-sized pot of water to a boil. Peel and cut the sweet potato into small chunks. Add the sweet potato to the boiling water, and boil until tender. Drain the sweet potato into a colander. In the same pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Return the sweet potato to the pot, and add the rosemary. Saute until the sweet potato has developed nicely browned crusts on the cut sides, and then remove it to a large serving bowl.
- In another medium-sized pot, place 2 ears of corn in just enough water to cover, and bring to a boil. Continue boiling until kernels are soft and tender. Meanwhile, slice the green and red peppers into 1/4-inch strips. Add the peppers to the pan with the liquid from the sauteed ham, and cook over medium-high heat. Slice the corn off the cob, and add it to the pan with the peppers. Continue sauteing until vegetables are crisp yet tender. Add the corn and pepper mixture to the bowl with the sweet potato, and toss gently until combined.
- In a large pot, add the apples and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil and cook until apples are tender. Drain in a colander. To the same pot, add the butter and brown sugar, and return the apples. Over low heat, stir with a wooden spoon until the apples absorb the sugar and the butter has melted.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 250°F.
- Core whole apple (without peeling) and cut 8 (1/4-inch-thick) rounds.
- Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderately high heat, then sauté ham, turning once, until browned, 5 to 6 minutes total. Transfer ham to a heatproof dish and keep warm, loosely covered with foil, in oven. Add remaining tablespoon butter to skillet and sauté apple slices, turning once, until golden and tender, 4 minutes total. Top each piece of ham with an apple slice and continue layering, using all of ham and apple slices, to make 2 stacks. Keep warm in oven.
- Add shallot to skillet and sauté over moderately high heat, stirring, until golden. Add vinegar and cook, stirring, 10 seconds, or until absorbed by shallots. Add apple juice and boil until reduced by half. Add mustards and cloves and boil until mixture is slightly thickened and syrupy. Serve stacks with sauce.
Tips:
- To ensure the ham steak is cooked evenly throughout, use a meat thermometer to check its internal temperature. The safe internal temperature for cooked ham is 145°F (63°C).
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check the doneness of the ham steak by making a small cut into the center. If the juices run clear, the ham steak is cooked.
- For a more flavorful ham steak, marinate it in a mixture of your favorite seasonings and liquids for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- If you're short on time, you can skip the marinating step and cook the ham steak immediately. Just be sure to season it well with salt and pepper.
- Serve the ham steak with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
