Ingredients

For the ham steaks:

2 lbs bone-in ham steaks about 3/4 to 1 lb pound each

For the Brown Sugar Mustard Glaze:

2 tbsp Brown Sugar
2 tbsp Maple Syrup
2 tbsp Mustard
¼ tsp cayenne pepper
¼ tsp dried Sage
¼ tsp dried Rosemary
Salt and Pepper

Instructions

Prep the Grill

Prep the grill for direct heat by heating a charcoal chimney until the coals are 70% ashed over.
Pour the charcoal into the center of the grill.
Cover with the lid and open the vents to allow the grill to preheat to around 375-400F.

Make the Glaze:

Once the grill is heated, in a small saucepan whisk the brown sugar, mustard, maple syrup, cayenne, sage, and rosemary until smooth.
2 tbsp Brown Sugar, 2 tbsp Maple Syrup, 2 tbsp Mustard, ¼ tsp cayenne pepper, ¼ tsp dried Sage, ¼ tsp dried Rosemary
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Salt and Pepper
Simmer over direct heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened.

Grill the ham steaks:

Remove the ham steaks from the package and pat dry.
2 lbs bone-in ham steaks
Place the ham steaks over the coals and grill for 2 minutes, rotate and cook 2 minutes longer
Flip and cook the steaks for another 4 to 5 minutes, rotating once halfway through.

Glaze:

Brush the ham steaks with the glaze for the last minute of grilling
Remove from heat and serve the ham steaks immediately.

Serve:

Serve this plain or with Brown Sugar Mustard Glaze

Notes

Ham steaks are already cured and cooked through so you are grilling them to reheat to 140F, adding great grill marks and extra flavor.

For a gas grill:
Preheat the grill for indirect heat by turning 2 out of 3 of the burners on medium-high heat allowing the grill to heat up.
Use a smoker box or foil pouch on your gas grill for more smoked flavor!

Alternatives & Substitutions:

BBQ sauce also works great instead of the brown sugar mustard glaze.
