Food editor Ian Knauer has taken three of his favorite thingspigs, booze, and fireand combined them into a heady, creamy, southern-inspired specialty. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter |
1 (1 1/4-pound) fully cooked bone-in ham steak |
1/4 cup bourbon |
1/2 cup heavy cream |
2 teaspoons grainy mustard |
1/8 teaspoon instant-coffee powder (optional) |
Directions:
1. Heat butter in a 12-inch heavy skillet over high heat until foam subsides. Meanwhile, pat ham steak dry and sprinkle all over with 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Sauté, turning once, until browned in spots and heated through, 4 to 5 minutes total. Transfer ham to a platter.
2. Add bourbon to skillet and carefully ignite with a kitchen match. When flames subside, add cream, mustard, and coffee powder (if using), scraping up any brown bits. Simmer until slightly thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour some of sauce over ham and serve remainder on the side.
