Ingredients
Scale
- 2–3 ham steaks (½–¾ inch thick)
- 2 cups pineapple slices or chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- ¼ cup honey
- 1–2 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: chopped parsley or chives for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together melted butter, honey, red pepper flakes, Dijon mustard, brown sugar, garlic powder, and black pepper.
- Arrange ham steaks on the sheet pan and tuck pineapple slices around and slightly underneath the ham.
- Brush half of the hot honey glaze over the ham and lightly coat the pineapple.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, until heated through and the pineapple begins to caramelize.
- Remove from oven, brush with remaining glaze, and broil for 2–3 minutes until sticky and slightly caramelized.
- Garnish with fresh herbs and serve immediately.
Notes
- Adjust spice level by adding more or less red pepper flakes
- Fresh pineapple gives the best caramelization
- Pat canned pineapple dry before using
- Don’t skip the broil step—it creates that sticky glaze
