Grilled Ham Steak
Grilling ham steak is a simple and satisfying way to enjoy its smoky and savory flavors. By preheating the grill, brushing or spraying the steak with oil, grilling it to an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C), and optionally applying a glaze or marinade, you can achieve a deliciously charred and succulent ham steak. Remember to allow the steak to rest before slicing to maximize flavor and juiciness. With these steps, you'll be able to savor the mouthwatering delight of grilled ham steak.
Equipment
- grill
- Tongs
- Basting brush
Ingredients
- olive oil
- ham steak
- glaze or marinade optional
Instructions
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. For a gas grill, set all burners to medium-high. If using a charcoal grill, light the charcoal and let it burn until covered with gray ash.
- Remove the ham steak from its packaging and pat it dry with paper towels. Trimming the fat around the edges is optional, depending on your preference.
- Brush or spray both sides of the ham steak with olive oil or cooking spray. This helps prevent sticking and promotes even browning.
- Apply a glaze or marinade (if desired): If you want to add extra flavor, you can apply a glaze or marinade to the ham steak. Brush the glaze or marinade onto both sides of the steak using a basting brush.
- Place the ham steak directly on the preheated grill grates. Close the grill lid to retain heat and enhance smokiness. Grill the ham steak for approximately 4-5 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- If you applied a glaze or marinade, you can baste the ham steak with additional glaze during the last few minutes of grilling. This adds extra flavor and caramelization.
- Once the ham steak reaches the desired internal temperature, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more flavorful and tender steak. Slice the ham steak and serve it hot.
