ham and pineapple (grilled)



Sorry, i am a little blah, have had a killer headache today! I hope that it doesn't ruin you wanting to try this!!  It was good, Ham is inexpensive when you buy it by the steak- this ham steak was just over $3.00 and it fed 5 people. I served steamed rice and a small salad.
  • 4 tablespoons Dijon or creamy Dijon-style mustard
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon 5-spice powder (or a mix of 1/8 teaspoon each of cinnamon, ground ginger, and ground cloves)
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce (optional)
  • Ham steak (about 2 pounds and 1 inch thick)
  • Canned pineapple slices
Instructions
  1. To make the sauce, whisk the mustard, maple syrup, oil, 5-spice powder, and soy sauce (if desired) in a small bowl.
  2. Cut the ham into individual portions and use a pastry brush to spread the mustard mixture on both sides of each piece (another great job for kids). Grill the ham 5 or more minutes on each side until it heats through. Grill the pineapple slices at the same time!
