Ham steaks — basically thick, juicy slices from a whole roasted ham — are an ideal dinner solution when you crave the savory satisfaction of a hearty protein but don’t have the time or the desire to make an entire roast. We love to serve pan-fried ham steaks with gently sauteed apples spiced with cinnamon, a touch of maple syrup and a sprinkling of raisins, as pork and apples are a classic pair! Garlicky green beans round out the plate for a nicely balanced supper that comes together in just over 30 minutes.
