Barbecued Ham Steaks Recipe

Mar 21st, 2010 by admin | 2

Woo hoo!  Now that is a fine retro illustration!  A drunk pig, wow, way too cool!  This recipe & illustration comes from the ever cool Cutco Cook Book, published in 1961. I mean, how many times do you see a drunk pig in cookbooks today?  My guess would be “never”.

I can’t say I’ve had BBQ’d ham steaks, but if I did, I have my own tasty BBQ rub I’d add, but this recipe looks okay.

  • 2 uncooked smoked ham steaks, 1 inch thick
  • 1 cup cider
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon dry mustard
  • 3 whole cloves, crushed

1. Trim excess fat from ham; score edges at 1-inch intervals.

2. Place in large fry pan; cover with boiling water; parboil 5 minutes.

3. Pour water off steaks.

4. Combine cider, brown sugar, mustard, cloves, blend well.

5. Pour over steaks; marinate 15 minutes; drain, saving marinade.

6. Grease grill with fat trimmings.

7. Broil over medium coals until brown on both sides, turning and basting with marinade frequently.

8. Allow 30-35 minutes for well done, browned meat.

9. Yield: Four to Six servings.
