Instructions
- 1Combine the brown sugar, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, and ground cloves in a small bowl and whisk until the brown sugar dissolves.
- 2Cut the ham steaks in half to create four equal portions.
- 3Add the butter to a large skillet and heat over medium heat until melted and foaming, about 1–2 minutes; swirl to coat the surface evenly.
- 4Place the ham portions in the skillet and cook over medium heat for 3–4 minutes per side until the edges are golden brown and caramelized.
- 5Pour the glaze mixture evenly over the ham steaks, flip, and cook for 1–2 minutes over medium heat until the glaze thickens and becomes sticky and coats the meat.
- 6Flip the ham steaks again and cook for another 1–2 minutes over medium heat until the glaze is caramelized on both sides and clings to the surface.
- 7Transfer the four glazed ham portions to airtight containers while hot, spooning any remaining glaze from the skillet over each piece.
- 8Let cool to room temperature, then seal and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat or microwave until warmed through.
