This ham steak is baked with a flavorful homemade barbecue sauce. The sauce takes about 5 to 10 minutes to make, and then the ham slice is baked to perfection in the oven.

The flavors are excellent with baked beans or serve the ham with baked, mashed, or sweet potatoes. Corn is another good side dish option or serve it with your family's favorite vegetable sides.

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup chopped onion

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

  • 1/2 cup tomato ketchup

  • 1/3 cup water

  • 2 tablespoons light or dark brown sugar, packed

  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

  • 1 slice fully cooked ham (about 1-inch thick)

Steps to Make It

  1. Gather the ingredients.

  2. Preheat the oven to 350 F.

  3. Line a rimmed baking pan with foil. Spray lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Place the ham in the prepared baking pan.

  4. In a saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter; add the chopped onion. Sauté the onion until translucent. Add the ketchup, water, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Stir to blend and cook for about 1 to 2 minutes, or until hot. 

  5. Pour the sauce over the ham.

  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

  7. Serve and enjoy!

Tips

  • This recipe calls for a large ham steak. If you can't find a ham steak, use about 8 ounces of thick leftover or store-bought ham slices.

Recipe Variations

  • Sauté about 1/4 cup of diced green bell pepper along with the onion.
  • Place the ham in the prepared baking pan and then top the ham with pineapple slices or drained chunks; pour the hot barbecue sauce over the ham and pineapple and bake as directed.
