Step 1
Spray a large skillet with cooking spray and warm it over medium heat. Add the ham steak and cook it until it’s nicely browned and heated through, about 5 to 6 minutes on each side. If there’s any extra grease, drain it off. Next, pour in the salsa, apricot nectar, apricot preserves, brown sugar, and taco seasoning. Turn the heat down to low and cover the skillet. Let everything simmer gently until the sauce is hot and bubbly, flipping the ham steak once during this time, which should take around 5 minutes. When it’s ready, transfer the ham to a serving plate and spoon the sauce over the top.

How to serve
Serve this flavorful ham with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad. Mashed potatoes or a simple rice pilaf also pair well and help soak up the sauce. For extra crunch, add some toasted nuts or crispy fried onions on top.
Storage & leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave to avoid drying out the meat. For longer storage, freeze the cooked ham in freezer-safe packaging for up to 2 months.
