FAQs
A ham steak is a slice of ham that has been cut from a larger ham. It is typically cut to be about ½ inch thick and can be bone-in or boneless. Ham steaks are usually pre-cooked, making them a quick and easy option for meals.
Most ham steaks bought in the store are not already cooked. Depending on the size will depend on how long it needs to be cooked.
If you have found that your ham steak is too tough, it’s probably because you have overcooked the ham.
Recipes Tips and Tricks
Here are a few tips and tricks to help you make the perfect grilled ham steak:
- Meat Thermometer – Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the internal temperature of the ham steak reaches 145°F.
- Bone-In – If using a bone-in ham steak, cook it with the bone side facing down to help it cook evenly.
- Pre-season – Add a glaze or seasoning to the ham steak before grilling for extra flavor.
- Rest – Let the ham steak rest for a few minutes before slicing to help the juices distribute evenly.
- Quick Main Dish – This is a great twist on honey baked ham for the holidays. I love to use the grill for a portion of the holiday meal to free up the oven for side dishes.

That looks incredible. Normally whenever I have ham I usually just pan fry it, or I have the whole ham with pineapple and maraschino cherries. I wonder if those could be added on to this. I’ll have to experiment! – Cheers
