Barbecued Ham Steaks Recipe
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.
