Ham steaks are great campfire fare because they're precooked, so you essentially need only to heat them through. Figure on about 3 to 4 ounces of ham per kid's portion, slightly more for adults. For added zip, we recommend dressing the ham with a quick-to-mix mustard sauce and grilled pineapple slices.

Ingredients
  • 4 tablespoons Dijon or creamy Dijon-style mustard
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon olive or vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon 5-spice powder (or a mix of 1/8 teaspoon each of cinnamon, ground ginger, and ground cloves)
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce (optional)
  • Ham steak (about 2 pounds and 1 inch thick)
  • Canned pineapple slices

Instructions
  1. To make the sauce, whisk the mustard, maple syrup, oil, 5-spice powder, and soy sauce (if desired) in a small bowl.

  2. Cut the ham into individual portions and use a pastry brush to spread the mustard mixture on both sides of each piece (another great job for kids). Grill the ham 5 or more minutes on each side until it heats through. Grill the pineapple slices at the same time and serve them atop the ham. Makes about 6 servings.

  3. Do-ahead Tip for Campers: Mix the mustard sauce at home and seal it in a small plastic container that can be packed in your cooler. You can also cut the ham into servings and pack them in a sealable plastic bag.
