The glaze on this zesty grilled ham steak is easy to throw together. It combines the sweetness of brown sugar, the tartness of lemon, and the kick of horseradish. It really wakes up a good piece of grilled ham. It’s not overly sweet, which sometimes ham glazes are for me.
This ham steak makes for a great side for breakfast-for-dinner.
Great Glaze For Not Just Ham
The glaze on this zesty grilled ham steak would be great on other pork dishes… such as grilled pork loin or tenderloin. And bacon. Just brush the glaze on the meat a few minutes before it’s done. Ham heats quickly so you can put it on early. You don’t want to glaze pork loin, tenderloin or even bacon early. The brown sugar in the glaze might burn, ruining your dish. Save it for near the end.
I love cooking up breakfast on the grill, even if it’s just a side dish or an ingredient I’ll use as part of a bigger dish, like my smoked crumbled breakfast sausage.
My pepper onion beer sauce makes for a great topping for ham!
