For a fantastic meal that is a veritable feast, here are 75 side dishes that will be perfect for what to serve with ham steak!
Before we give you ideas on what to serve with ham steak, here is a little primer on what this slice of meat is.
Ham steak is often a thick cut from a ham roast, usually half an inch to two inches thick, which comes from the leg or ham shank.
When you buy ham steak, it usually comes in a salted form and can be rather salty if cooked or reheated as is.
To remove any excess salt, soak it in a bowl of water for five to ten minutes before you continue to cook it.
Ham steak can come in a bone-in or boneless form and is usually taken from the middle part of a ham roast, which is already cooked.
It can be heated on a grill, in a pan, or popped in the oven and broiled.
A high-heat sear can make a crispy char that is quite delicious!
You can serve ham steak with a glaze too, and there are lots of glazes you can choose from.
You can also serve it plain and with one or two accompaniments.
What kinds of accompaniments go well with a slab of ham steak?
Here is a list of 75 options that you can try out when you’re serving ham steak for lunch or dinner.

This mixed green salad isn’t as ordinary as you think it is, however, since it’s a French-inspired recipe that uses a French vinaigrette for its dressing.
