Ingredients

  • Spritz of cooking spray
  • 1 ham steak weighing 2 pounds
  • ½ cup of chunky salsa
  • ⅓ cup of apricot nectar
  • ¼ cup of apricot preserves
  • 1 tablespoon of brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of taco seasoning

Step 1

Prepare a large skillet by spraying it with cooking spray and heating it over medium heat. Cook the ham in the skillet until it is nicely browned and heated all the way through, approximately 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Remember to remove any extra grease that may accumulate. Next, introduce a flavorful mix to the skillet consisting of salsa, apricot nectar, apricot preserves, brown sugar, and taco seasoning.

Step 2

Lower the heat to a gentle simmer and cover the skillet, allowing the ingredients to meld together beautifully. Let the sauce bubble and heat up, ensuring to flip the ham steak once during this process, which should take around 5 minutes. Once ready, move the ham steak to a serving platter and generously pour the sauce on top for an irresistibly delicious finish.

Extra Tips & Suggestions

  1. 1. Marinate Magic: Infuse flavor by marinating your ham steak in a blend of sweet and spicy ingredients. Seal it in an airtight container to let the flavors meld together overnight.
  2. 2. Freezer Finesse: If you're not cooking your ham steak right away, freeze it in individual portions wrapped tightly in foil. This way, you can easily thaw just what you need for a quick and tasty meal.
