   A bone-in ham steak is a thick cut of ham, resembling a piece of steak from a cow. It is an easier and faster way to enjoy the taste of ham, without having to slow-cook a whole ham. A ham steak can be cooked numerous ways for different flavor dimensions. It is high in sodium since it is cured, like a whole ham, but goes well with fruit, mustard, honey, brown sugar, mashed potatoes or vegetables.

   Store cooked ham steak in the refrigerator for three to four days and in the freezer for three to four months.

   Create a glaze with ½ cup of your choice of fruit preserves and 1 tbsp. of your choice of mustard, melted over low heat for two minutes. Add garlic, lemon juice or chopped fresh herbs to the glaze as well.

   Instead of a glaze, season the ham steak before grilling and top with a homemade sauce of honey, brown sugar and apple cider.
