A delightful twist on a classic dish, these ham steaks are served with a rich, coffee-infused gravy that will tantalize your taste buds.
Melt the butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the butter doesn't brown to maintain a smooth flavor.
Stir in the brown sugar until it dissolves and forms a smooth mixture.
Stir continuously to prevent the sugar from burning.
Season the ham steaks with black pepper on both sides.
Use freshly ground pepper for the best flavor.
Place the ham steaks in the skillet and cook until heated through and slightly caramelized, about 3 minutes per side.
Flip the steaks gently to keep the caramelized crust intact.
Remove the ham steaks from the skillet and set aside on a serving platter.
Cover the steaks with foil to keep them warm.
Add the green onions to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 2 minutes.
Stir frequently to avoid sticking.
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir to combine.
Ensure the flour is evenly distributed to avoid lumps.
Cook the flour mixture, stirring constantly, until it turns golden brown, about 2 minutes.
This step develops the flavor of the gravy.
Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and coffee, stirring until the gravy thickens, about 3 minutes.
Add the liquids slowly to prevent lumps.
Serve the ham steaks topped with the coffee-infused gravy.
Garnish with additional green onions for a fresh touch.
