Ham Steak Tips
How can you tell when ham steak is done cooking?
With ham, it can be a little difficult to tell when it’s done just by looking at it. That’s why you need to know the
food-safe cooking temperatures every time you cook. Since the ham steak is already fully cooked when you purchase it, you should only heat it to 140°F. If you cook it longer than that, it will start to get tough and chewy.
What can you serve with ham steaks?
Ham is one of those versatile meats that pretty much pairs well with anything and everything. Since this ham steak is cooked on the stove, it makes sense to match it up with other
side dishes made in skillets. If you’re looking for something on the healthy side, try these
healthier side dishes.
How should you store leftovers of ham steak?
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Be sure to include any juices that are in the pan, as this will help keep the ham moist and tender.
