Ham Steaks - Allergy Free CookBook

Updated: Sep 18

When most people think of ham, they think of the thick pinkish slab that is cut up on holidays and often has a pineapple glaze on it. However, if you buy a half a pig from the butcher, your ham won't be prepared like that. It'll be raw, dark grey steaks, and not cooked, ready to eat ham. Ham steaks are a little tougher, and gristlier than the average cut of pork. They also often have bone in them. They aren't any more difficult to cook than other cuts of meat, though they still won't be grocery store ham.
