Serves 4
Ingredients
- 1 cup cherry cola
- 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 4 red jalapeños, seeded and chopped
- 1 green jalapeño, chopped with seeds
- 4 tablespoons cornstarch
- 4 tablespoons grenadine
- 4 (4-ounce) ham steaks
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Set the EGG for direct cooking (no convEGGtor) with the Cast Iron Grid. Preheat the EGG to 400ºF/204ºC.
- Combine the cherry cola, brown sugar, and jalapeños in a small saucepan on the stovetop and simmer for 10 minutes. Using a fork, mix the cornstarch with the grenadine and add to the saucepan. Whisk together and cook for 1 minute, or until thickened. Carefully pour the hot glaze into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade and process for 30 seconds. Pour the glaze into a small bowl and set aside.
- Brush the ham steaks with the oil and season with pepper. Place the ham steaks on the Grid. Close the lid of the EGG and cook for 5 minutes, turn the steaks over, baste with the glaze, and continue cooking for 5 more minutes.
- Transfer the steaks to a platter and baste them with the glaze. Pour the rest of the glaze into a dish. Serve the ham steaks immediately with the glaze on the side.
Notes
- When combined with jalapeño peppers, the cherry cola in this sauce makes an incredible glaze!
