HOW TO COOK A HAM STEAK IN THE OVEN RECIPES

Steps:

• Before cooking, remove steaks from fridge and let them come to room temperature for 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 450°F.
• Wrap edges of each steak with a strip of bacon and secure each with a length of kitchen twine.
• Season steaks with salt and pepper. Place a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. and let it get hot. When the pan is hot (after 1 minute or so), add some butter, melt it and swirl it around the pan to coat. When butter is bubbling, add steaks to the pan and sear for 90 seconds per side.
• Transfer pan directly to oven and let cook until the steaks reach your desired doneness; 5-6 minutes per side in the oven (10 minutes total) should give you a nice medium-rare steak. Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer. For medium-rare, it should register 135°F in the thickest part of the steak.
• When steaks are done, remove from the oven and transfer to a clean plate. Cover with foil and let rest for 6-7 minutes. Remove twine from steaks and serve each one drizzled with balsamic vinegar glaze.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
• Cut the meat with the grain into 1/2-inch thick slices. Season each piece on both sides with the salt and pepper. Place the flour into a pie pan. Place the eggs into a separate pie pan. Dredge the meat on both sides in the flour. Tenderize the meat, using a needling device, until each slice is 1/4-inch thick. Once tenderized, dredge the meat again in the flour, followed by the egg and finally in the flour again. Repeat with all the pieces of meat. Place the meat onto a plate and allow it to sit for 10 to 15 minutes before cooking.
• Place enough of the vegetable oil to cover the bottom of a 12-inch slope-sided skillet and set over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the meat in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each piece on both sides until golden brown, approximately 4 minutes per side. Remove the steaks to a wire rack set in a half sheet pan and place into the oven. Repeat until all of the meat is browned.
• Add the remaining vegetable oil, or at least 1 tablespoon, to the pan. Whisk in 3 tablespoons of the flour left over from the dredging. Add the chicken broth and deglaze the pan. Whisk until the gravy comes to a boil and begins to thicken. Add the milk and thyme and whisk until the gravy coats the back of a spoon, approximately 5 to 10 minutes. Season to taste, with more salt and pepper, if needed. Serve the gravy over the steaks.
