SWEET AND SOUR HAM
I CAME UP with this recipe several summers ago. I had a ham in the refrigerator and was trying to avoid heating up the kitchen by preparing it in the oven. The stovetop was the solution. Ever since, this recipe has been my standby for when I have leftover ham. Served over rice, it's delicious! -Diane Widmer Blue Island, Illinois

HAM AND PEPPERS STIR FRY WITH SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE
We call this "Ham and Peppers" but there's onion and pineapple too. This is a great quick meal and an excellent use for leftover ham. The recipe was originally from a Doubleday Cookbook but has evolved during the past 12 years to suit our taste--we like the ham and onions slightly browned and the peppers crisp/tender. Serve over steamed rice and add soy sauce to taste. Note that this dish is best just after it's thickened and it doesn't reheat that well, but there's rarely any leftovers.

Steps:
- Prepare the sauce by first stirring cornstarch with about 2 or 3 tbs.of the chicken broth in a small bowl.
- When the cornstarch is dissolved and smooth, stir in the remaining sauce ingredients and set aside.
- Brown ham in 1/3 of butter over moderately high heat in a skillet or wok until it begins to brown.
- Remove and set the ham aside.
- Melt another 1/3 of the butter in the skillet or wok and sauté the onions.
- When they start to soften and turn translucent, add the peppers and the final 1/3 of the butter.
- When the onions have somewhat browned, add the ham and the pineapple, juice and all.
- Stir the sauce until smooth again (since the cornstarch tends to settle) and pour into skillet or wok.
- Increase heat and stir until the sauce begins to bubble.
- Reduce heat and stir for a minute or two until the cornstarch is fully cooked; if too thick, thin with a little water or broth.
- Serve over steamed rice as soon as possible. I like to sprinkle some dried hot red pepper flakes over it; I love hot food and this gives the dish some zing!
Tips:
- To ensure the ham steaks are cooked thoroughly, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 145°F (63°C).
- For a crispier crust on the ham steaks, sear them in a hot skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side before adding the pineapple sauce.
- If you don't have brown sugar, you can substitute an equal amount of granulated sugar or honey.
- For a sweeter sauce, add an extra tablespoon of brown sugar or honey.
- If you like a little heat in your sauce, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes.
- Serve the ham steaks with rice, mashed potatoes, or your favorite side dish.
Conclusion:
Sweet and sour pineapple ham steaks are a delicious and easy meal that can be made in under 30 minutes. The ham steaks are tender and juicy, and the pineapple sauce is sweet, tangy, and slightly savory. This dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual get-together.
