Super-Easy Fried Ham Steak With Cranberry Mustard Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 ham steaks (about 1/2-inch thick)
black pepper
4 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup minced shallot (can use minced yellow onions in place of shallots)
4 teaspoons mustard powder (can use a little more)
1/2 cup whole berry cranberry sauce (can use a couple tablespoons more of cranberry sauce)
1/4 cup water
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
salt and black pepper

Preparation

Sprinkle the ham steaks with black pepper.
Melt about 2 tablespoons butter in a medium skillet over medium heat.
Add in ham and saute until brown on the edges (about 2 minutes per side).
Transfer to plates and cover with foil to keep warm.
Reduce heat slightly and add in remaining 2 tablespoon butter to the skillet.
Add in shallots and mustard powder; stir until the shallots begin to soften (about 2-3 minutes).
Add/mix in the whole-berry cranberry sauce, water and red wine vinegar; stir with a wooden spoon until sauce thickens (about 1 minute).
Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
Spoon the sauce over ham and serve.
