Maple-Glazed Ham Steak
Serves 4.
Note: If you do not have real maple syrup, substitute honey, microwaving it for about 30 seconds so it becomes fluid enough to pour and stir easily. (Imitation maple syrup is sometimes labeled "pancake" syrup. Do not use this.)
1 thick center-cut ham slice (about 1 lb.)
2 tbsp. real maple syrup (see Note)
2 tsp. balsamic vinegar
Place the ham in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook on the first side until lightly browned, about 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and brown on the second side, about 4 to 5 minutes more. Reduce heat to medium, if necessary.
While the ham cooks, stir the maple syrup and vinegar together in a small measuring cup or dish. Set aside.
