A ham steak is a sliced piece of ham, usually ranging in thickness from about 0.5-2". The convenience of this cut of meat for cooking really can’t be underestimated. You can certainly pan-fry, broil or grill a whole ham steak, or it’s quite easy to chop to be used in a variety of recipes. A ham and cheese frittata for instance, is delicious with ham steak, or chop and fry small pieces of ham steak for a variant on pork fried rice, as part of an egg scramble, or an omelet. You can also cut the steak into portions and make great ham and cheese sandwiches on toasted bread or buns.
