STUFFED HAM STEAK WITH SWEET POTATOES



Stuffed Ham Steak with Sweet Potatoes image

Another recipe from the Mennonite Cookbook! This one hails from PA. I was so happy to find this old cookbook and am just as happy to share some of the 1150 recipes with you! Some of them are.... well something I don't think most of us would want to eat - think offal - so I will stick with these short ones. Have not tried this one...

Provided by Patty Ward

Categories     Steaks and Chops

Time 2h15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 large ham steaks, 1/2 inch thick
2 c soft bread crumbs
2 c raisins, chopped
1/2 c celery, diced
1/4 c brown sugar
1 tsp dry mustard
1/4 c butter, melted
3 large sweet potatoes, chopped and cooked. drain and hold until time to add to hamsteaks.

Steps:

  • 1. Combine crumbs, raisins,celery,sugar,dry mustard and melted butter to form stuffing. Add a little milk if not wet enough.
  • 2. Spread between ham slices and tie securely with kitchen twine. Stick a few cloves in the fat of ham. put into a baking dish and place in oven.* * I would tent loosely with foil, add a 1/4 cup of water to keep meat moist. *
  • 3. Bake @ 325 D/F for 2 hours. Thirty minuets before serving, add sweet potatoes to rolled ham steaks in pan and continue cooking.* *probably would remove tent now to allow browning. Add more water if too dry. * Or you could use a little chicken broth!! Just trying to add "parts" I think this recipe did not provide.... :)

Tips:

  • Choose a thick-cut ham steak for best results.
  • Use a sharp knife to score the ham steak in a diamond pattern to help the glaze penetrate.
  • Brown the ham steak in a hot skillet before baking to create a caramelized crust.
  • Use a combination of brown sugar, honey, and Dijon mustard to create a sweet and tangy glaze.
  • Bake the ham steak in a preheated oven until it reaches an internal temperature of 140°F.
  • Let the ham steak rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
  • Serve the ham steak with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad.
