This is a quick meal cooked in a skillet for all you lovers of ham. In my family we don’t eat as much ham as we use to. I remember back in the olden days, ham was more prolific. It was a matter of economics. A ham steak was a cheap meal. But, now and then, I indulge my yen for a good ham steak. And this is the easiest way to do it. For the dish given, you’ll need a large ham steak, about 1-inch thick, and preferably maple and sugar cured. The rest is, as they say, a cinch.
