  1. Pat the ham steaks dry. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat and cook the steaks for 2 minutes per side until browned at the edges. Lift out onto a plate.

  2. Lower the heat to medium. Add the pineapple juice, sugar and mustard to the pan and simmer for 3 minutes, stirring, until it coats a spoon.

  3. Add the butter and pineapple rings and cook for 1 minute, turning the rings once.

  4. Return the ham to the pan, spoon the glaze over, and serve with a pineapple ring on each steak.

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.
