Ham steak is one of the easiest dinners in my repertoire. Ready in about 15 minutes, it's simple and delicious.
Cut each piece of ham in half. Each half will be a serving.
Heat a large, 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the butter. Once the butter melts, swirl it to coat the bottom of the skillet.
When the butter starts foaming, add the ham in a single layer. Sprinkle the ham with garlic powder, dried thyme, and cayenne pepper.
Cook until browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes.
Add the maple syrup to the skillet and swirl to combine with the pan juices. Turn the ham to the other side and cook until browned on that side, about 2 more minutes.
Transfer the ham to plates. Drizzle or brush it with the pan juices. Serve immediately.
