Ingredients
Equipment
Steps
- 1
Score the edges of the ham steak to prevent curling.
- 2
Mix brown sugar, mustard, honey, vinegar, and cloves for the glaze.
- 3
Brush glaze on both sides of the ham steak.
- 4
Air fry at 400°F for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway and brushing with more glaze.
- 5
Slice and serve when edges are caramelized and golden.
Tip: Ham steaks are already fully cooked — you're just heating and caramelizing. Scoring the edges prevents curling from the fat contracting. The mustard-brown sugar glaze is classic for a reason; the acid from the vinegar balances the sweetness.
Why Air Fry This?
- ⏱️Ready in 10 minutes vs ~18 in a conventional oven — no preheating needed.
- 🍖Circulating hot air renders fat and seals in juices for a crispier outside and tender inside.
- ⚡Uses significantly less energy than heating a full-size oven for a single batch.
