Super-Easy Fried Ham Steak With Cranberry Mustard Sauce

This makes a delicious and super-quick meal that can be made in less than 10 minutes! I just purchase the single vacuum-packed sliced ham steaks for this. This recipe can easily be doubled --- please make certain to use a good-quality mustard powder as it will make a different to the recipe.

• Yields: 2 ham steaks

Ingredients

• 2  ham steaks (about 1/2-inch thick)

1. Sprinkle the ham steaks with black pepper.

5. Reduce heat slightly and add in remaining 2 tablespoon butter to the skillet.
