Notes From the Method
Do not overcook the ham; it is already cooked and dries out quickly.
If the glaze thickens too much, add a splash of water.
Snip the fatty rim in two places to stop the steak curling in the pan.
Leftovers
Keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a covered pan so the ham does not dry out.
