Instructions

Step 1: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 bone-in ham steaks (6 oz each) and sear for 3-4 minutes on each side until nicely browned.
Step 2: Reduce heat to medium and brush each ham steak generously with 3 tablespoons honey. Cook for an additional 2 minutes per side until the honey glaze caramelizes and becomes sticky.
Step 3: Remove ham steaks from skillet and set aside, keeping warm.
Step 4: In the same skillet, add 1/2 cup pineapple juice, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Stir well and cook over medium heat for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens and coats the back of a spoon.
Step 5: Return ham steaks to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them to warm through for 1 minute. Garnish with 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley before serving.
