Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 ham steaks (1/2-inch thick)
4 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
3 cans (8 ounce size) pineapple chunks, reserving liquid
1/4 cup orange juice
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

DIRECTIONS: From ham steak, remove rind and trim off all but 1/4-inch of outer fat. Cut ham into serving pieces. In a large saute pan set over moderately high heat, melt half of butter. Add ham steaks and saute for 3 minutes on each side, until steaks are lightly browned. Transfer ham steaks to plate. Blot the pineapples as dry as possible. Add remaining butter to saucepan. Add pineapple and saute until the edges begin to caramelize, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the pineapple and reserve. Add orange and pineapple juices to the pan and reduce by half, for about 5 to 6 minutes. Whisk in Dijon and whole-grain mustards. Transfer ham steaks back into saute pan. Add caramelized pineapple chunks and toss. Heat through thoroughly. Season, to taste. NUTRITION: 424 calories, 19 grams fat, 29 grams carbohydrates, 35 grams protein per serving.
