The Secret to the Perfect Glaze

The true beauty of gammon steak recipes lies in the balance of sweet and salty. By glazing your steak in the same pan as it sears, you capture all the rendered juices to create a more cohesive and flavourful meal.

This not only elevates the meat but also significantly reduces the amount of washing up required at the end of the night. For a professional touch, try brushing on a mix of honey and mustard during the final minutes of cooking.
