Delicious Air Fryer Ham Steak (or Gammon Steak) in under 10 minutes! A great breakfast, brunch or lunch option that’s super quick and easy. Serve with pineapple rings, eggs and fries for a slice of pure nostalgia!
The first time I had gammon steaks (as ham steaks are called in the UK) I was quite perplexed. This was way back when I was a student and lived in halls of residence where dinner was included.
Ham and pineapple plus eggs and chips? It was definitely new to me but I quickly grew to love this simple dish. Gammon steaks are relatively inexpensive and are delicious cooked in the Air Fryer!
Ingredients
▢ 1 tbsp runny honey
▢ 2 tsp mustard wholegrain or Dijon
▢ 2 tsp olive oil
▢ 2 Gammon steaks or ham steaks
Optional
▢ cooking spray
▢ 2 eggs
▢ 4 pineapple rings fresh or from a can
Instructions
Prepare the glaze by mixing olive oil, mustard and honey. Pat the ham steaks (or gammon steaks) dry with paper towels and brush with the glaze on both sides. If you are cooking pineapple rings then brush them with the glaze as well.
Preheat the air fryer for 3 minutes at 350°F (180°C). Place the steaks and pineapple rings in the air fryer basket and cook for 4-5 minutes for gammon steaks and 3-4 minutes for ham steaks.
Flip the steaks and pineapple over and brush with the glaze once more. If you are making eggs you can mist two silicone molds with cooking spray and add them to the air fryer on top of the ham.
Cook for a further 4-5 minutes or until gammon steaks register 145°F/ 63°C and 3-4 minutes for pre-cooked ham steaks 140°F/ 60°C. If cooking eggs, make sure the egg white is set before removing from the air fryer.
Serve with the egg, pineapple and chips (which you can also cook in the air fryer). Absolutely delicious!
RECIPE TIPS
• Use an instant read thermometer (like a Thermapen) to check the temperature in the center of the steaks for best results. The thickness of the steaks and your Air Fryer model will affect cooking time.
