Baked Ham Steak with Potatoes and Green Beans

Ingredients

• 2 ham steaks (about 1 lb each)

• 1 ½ lbs baby potatoes, halved (Yukon gold or red work best)

• 12 oz fresh green beans, trimmed

• 3 tbsp olive oil (divided)

• 3 tbsp brown sugar

• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard

• 2 tbsp honey (or maple syrup)

• 2 cloves garlic, minced

• ½ tsp smoked paprika

• ½ tsp dried thyme

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven: Set to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large baking dish or sheet pan.

2. Prepare the potatoes: Toss halved potatoes with 2 tbsp olive oil, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Spread them evenly in the baking dish. Roast for 20 minutes.

3. Make the glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together brown sugar, Dijon mustard, honey, garlic, and 1 tbsp olive oil.

4. Add ham and beans: After 20 minutes, remove the pan from the oven. Push potatoes to the sides and place ham steaks in the center. Brush ham generously with glaze. Arrange green beans around the ham, drizzle with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper.

5. Bake again: Return to oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, basting ham once more halfway through, until ham is heated through, potatoes are golden, and green beans are tender.

6. Finish and serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
