Ham Steak with Pineapple and Jalepenos



While trying to keep our diet varied and avoid red meat, I have been putting Ham Steak on the menu from time to time. I love it grilled with Pineapple Slices.

A friend was telling us about a Mexican Dish which included Sauteed Pineapple and Jalapeno Peppers. I thought that would go really nicely with my grilled Ham, and it sure did!

One would think it would be really spicy, but with the addition of red wine vinegar and some reserved pineapple juice it was just right.

p.s I hope you guys are submitting to http://tastestopping.wordpress.com/, when the big guys reject your photos, it is a neat idea!

1 Ham Steak
1 Can of Pineapple Chunks (fresh would be even better)
2 Jalapenos seeded and chopped into chunks
Reserved Pineapple Juice
Olive Oil
Red Wine Vinegar

Place 2 tbl Olive Oil into a non stick pan, heat to medium high

Add your pineapple and jalapenos, and saute till they get nicely browned

Add in approx 2 tbl red wine vinegar and the same of pineapple juice

Place on your Ham Steak and serve

Cheryl, this looks fantastic and when I get home from my vacation next week I am making this immediately. I love the combo. WOW.

I'm liking the look and sound of this. Ham and pineapple go so well together, I love the addition of jalapenos.

We're having ham steak tonight, but unfortunately I have no pineapple or I'd give this a whirl right now. I'll just have to make do with my usual honey mustard glaze. Oh hum, next time.
