A quick and easy recipe for grilled ham steaks glazed with a sticky, sweet, and tangy honey mustard sauce that caramelizes perfectly on the grill, delivering a juicy and flavorful dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ham steaks (68 ounces each), thick-cut, bone-in or boneless
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon yellow mustard
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Pinch of freshly ground black pepper
  • Salt, to taste (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, Dijon mustard, yellow mustard, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar until smooth. Add garlic powder, smoked paprika, and black pepper; stir well to combine.
  2. Preheat grill to medium heat, about 350°F. If using charcoal, wait until coals are covered with white ash. Lightly oil grill grates to prevent sticking.
  3. Pat ham steaks dry with paper towels. Lightly season with salt if desired.
  4. Place ham steaks on the grill and cook for 3-4 minutes on the first side without moving to form grill marks. Brush generously with honey mustard glaze.
  5. Flip ham steaks using tongs and brush the other side with more glaze. Grill for another 3-4 minutes. Repeat glazing once more if a thicker coating is desired.
  6. Check for doneness; ham steaks are pre-cooked, so heat through and caramelize glaze. Aim for internal temperature of 140°F if using a thermometer. Glaze should be bubbly and slightly charred but not burnt.
  7. Remove from grill and let rest for 3-5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute and glaze to set.

Notes

If glaze starts to burn, lower heat or move ham steaks to cooler part of grill. Brushing a light layer of olive oil before glazing can prevent scorching. Let glaze set between coats to build a nice crust. Rest ham steaks before serving to keep them juicy. For indoor cooking, use a grill pan or broiler and baste frequently.
