Main dishes don't get any quicker or easier than this one. I usually
keep a ham steak in the fridge so that I can whip up a meat dish in
under 10 minutes when time is short or enthusiasm is lacking. There
are thousands of ways to dress up a ham steak, and this is one of my
favorites.

Broiled Ham Steak with Raspberry-Mustard Glaze

1 ham steak (12-16 oz, 335-450 g)
2 tsp (10 ml) Dijon mustard
2 tsp (10 ml) raspberry jam

Rinse the ham steak and pat dry with paper towels. Score the edges of
the ham steak to help prevent it from curling when cooked. Combine
the mustard and raspberry jam. Cook the ham steak under a preheated
broiler until it just begins to sizzle, about 3 minutes. Turn, spread
with the mustard mixture, and broil until the edges begin to turn
brown and the glaze begins to bubble, 3 to 5 minutes. Serves 3 to 4.
