Preparation
Step 1
Brown the ham steak, including package juices, in a hot dry skillet over high heat 420°F (216°) on both sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Turn the ham steak when it releases easily from the pan. Add the butter and allow it to melt. Remove the ham steak to a warm platter and keep warm. Slowly stir in the coffee.
In a small bowl, combine flour and water; mix well. Stir in the flour mixture and brown sugar until well blended. Return the ham steak to the skillet and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes.
