Description

Fully cooked ham steaks reheated in the air fryer with a sweet and tangy brown sugar mustard glaze.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 fully cooked ham steaks, about 8 ounces each
  • 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of black pepper


Instructions

  1. Dry the ham: Pat the fully cooked ham steaks dry and trim only large pieces of exterior fat if desired.
  2. Mix the glaze: Stir brown sugar, Dijon, maple syrup, vinegar, cinnamon, and pepper together.
  3. Preheat: Preheat the air fryer to 360°F (182°C) for 3 minutes.
  4. Glaze the first side: Brush the steaks lightly with glaze and arrange them in one layer.
  5. Turn and finish: Air fry for 5 minutes, turn, brush with more glaze, and cook for 3 to 5 minutes more until hot and caramelized.
  6. Rest and serve: Transfer to a clean platter, brush with any unused clean glaze, and rest 3 minutes before slicing.

Notes

This method is for fully cooked ham steaks. Follow the product label and heat to the temperature it specifies; USDA guidance commonly uses 140°F (60°C) for reheating packaged fully cooked ham.
