Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (204°C). Toss 1.5 pounds halved baby Yukon gold potatoes with 3 tablespoons olive oil, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 30-35 minutes until golden and crisp.
2. Step 2: While potatoes roast, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add your 4 fully cooked 6-ounce ham steaks and sear for 3 minutes per side until browned and warmed through.
3. Step 3: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup honey and 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar. Pour the honey-balsamic glaze into the skillet with the ham steaks and cook for 1-2 minutes, spooning the glaze over the steaks until it thickens and coats them beautifully.
4. Step 4: Plate the ham steaks drizzled with the glaze alongside the roasted garlic potatoes. Serve immediately for a balanced, flavorful Easter dinner.
