Almost each week I get a ham steak with my grocery order. This is because I know that if I haven't planned dinner one night during the week that I'll be able to quickly create something with the ham steak. Best of all, the ham steak thaws in the microwave in 60 seconds. Here are some of the many ways I use a ham steak:
1. Fried. My kids love it when I toss the ham steak in a frying pan and brown it on both sides. They think it tastes just like bacon. A side of green beans and parslied potatoes and we are good to go.
2. Omelet. I love to dice the ham steak and toss it in an omelet with onions, green peppers and some cheddar cheese. A cup of fruit cocktail and a slice of toast top off this meal.
3. Soup. Soup is what I usually make when I have a lot of leftovers. A chicken broth base and your leftovers are all you really need. I dice the ham steak and toss it in the chicken broth, along with a variety of veggies, sliced potatoes and some beans.
4. Ham pocket. It is so much fun to roll out some biscuit dough and create a pocket filled with diced ham, onions, and cheese. Cook the ham pocket as long as you would the biscuit dough.
5. Pasta salad. Instead of chicken or kielbasa, I'll use ham if I have it. Pasta salad that has ham in it also tastes great with olives, cheese, onions, red bell peppers, and Italian salad dressing.
