FAQs

Grilled Honey Bourbon Glazed Ham Steaks
What is a Ham Steak?

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.

Is ham steak already cooked?

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.

Why is my ham steak so tough?

If you have found that your ham steak is too tough, it’s probably because you have overcooked the ham.

Recipes Tips and Tricks

Grilled Honey Bourbon Glazed Ham Steaks

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.

What to Serve with Ham

Here are a few of my favorite things to serve with ham.

  • Mashed potatoes in a white bowl sitting on a blue and white towel.
    Sour Cream and Chive Mashed Potatoes
  • White bowl filled with green beans and bacon on a wood countertop.
    Southern Green Beans Recipe
  • White shallow bowl filled with risotto, asparagus, and peas with grated cheese.
    Pea and Asparagus Risotto
  • Square photo of a white bowl filled with cooked baby carrots.
    Instant Pot Carrots

This recipe only takes a whopping 15 minutes! Most of your side-dishes will take longer to cook than the holiday ham this year. Can you imagine only having to be in the kitchen for 30 minutes on Christmas? I think that is a gift in its-self!

    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
