Description:

Gammon steak is a traditional British dish, typically a slice from a hind leg of pork that is preserved through brining and cured for smoking. It's a savoury delight, often served with pineapple or a fried egg, and accompanied by chips and peas. This hearty meal is a staple in British pubs and is known for its rich and salty flavour.

Ingredients:

Servings

4
 
gammon steaks
 (200g each, approximately 1.5cm thick)
 
Olive oil
 (for brushing)
 
Ground black pepper
 (to taste)

For garnish

4
 
pineapple rings
 (optional)
4
 
eggs
 (optional)

Cooking Instructions:

Preheat your grill to a medium-high heat or heat a griddle pan on the stove.
Lightly brush each gammon steak with olive oil and season with a bit of black pepper. Avoid adding salt as gammon is already salty.
Place the gammon steaks under the grill or on the pan and cook for 7 to 8 minutes on one side. Turn them over and continue cooking for another 7 to 8 minutes, or until the steaks are golden brown and cooked through.
If you're opting for the classic pineapple garnish, grill the pineapple rings alongside the gammon, until they're caramelised and warm.
For a sunny-side-up egg, fry the eggs in a non-stick frying pan to your liking.
Serve the gammon steaks hot with your choice of garnish, and traditional sides like chips and peas for a full British pub experience.

To Serve:

Plate up the gammon steak with a pineapple ring on top, or a fried egg perched beautifully atop the golden meat. Accompany with chunky chips and a side of buttered peas for a truly British meal.
