I adapted this recipe from one I got off . The combination of the ingredients produces a very unique taste and the Ham Steaks turn out moist and flavorful. I did adjust the cumin back to 1 1/2 tsp. and increased the jalapenos to four just as personal prefrence. It's a must try if you are tired of the usual Ham Steak with Pineapple rings. I served this with baked sweet potatoes and fresh green beans. The left overs if any are great the next day. The cook time includes marinating time. Ingredients:
1/2 cup tequila |
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice |
1 cup fresh orange juice |
3 tablespoons light brown sugar, divided |
2 teaspoons ground cumin |
1 jalapeno pepper, cut into 1/8 inch slices |
2 bone-in ham steaks, about 1 lb each |

4. Put the Ham Steaks in a reclosable zipper type bag and pour in the Marinade.
5. Make sure to squeeze out as much air as you can.
6. Place in a container/baking dish making sure jalepenos are distributed around both Steaks.
7. Refridgerate for 4 to 6 hours turning once or twice.
8. Let Steaks come to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
