Don’t want to cook a large ham but want a flavorful ham steak? Try this easy ham steak and pineapple rings recipe for a beautiful dinner recipe.

When I’m looking for a dinner recipe I always forget about how good ham is! Great with slow cooker green bean casserole or root beer baked beans. If you are looking for a whole ham with pineapple, try my Brown Sugar Ham Recipe.

This Slow Cooker Ham Steaks and Pineapple Rings recipe turned out amazing. I was thumbing through one of my favorite cookbooks “The Whistle Stop Cafe” by Fannie Flagg, and saw a recipe for ham steaks and pineapple rings, and I knew I had to create a recipe with ham steaks for my slow cooker. I’m a huge fan of Fannie Flagg, her fiction books are upbeat, funny, and just homey and I just love her cookbook too!

How to make ham steaks in the slow cooker:

  • Ham – A small ham sliced or pre-sliced ham steaks
  • Pineapple Slices – 1 can, save the juices for the sauce
  • Brown Sugar – Gives the ham sweetness
  • Mustard – Yellow table mustard for a depth of flavor
  • Apple Cider Vinegar – Adds tang and helps cut the sweetness
  • Maraschino Cherries – Makes the dish beautiful and add a slight cherry flavor

  • Make a sauce with the pineapple juice, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and mustard.
  • Pour over the ham steaks in the slow cooker.
  • Place the pineapple rings over the ham and add the cherries.
  • Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 5 hours without opening the lid during the cooking time.

What should I serve with ham steaks?

  • Slow Cooker Baked Potatoes or Baked Potato Casserole
  • Steamed Vegetables or Green salad
  • Slow Cooker Scalloped Potatoes

        I do not test my recipes in the pressure cooker. You would need to make sure there is enough liquid.

      Can this be pre-made for an event? How would I heat up on the day of the event?

        Ham is already cooked, so by heating again it will be cooked a third time and won’t be the best. I would cook this fresh the day of in the slow cooker or another way.

      I’m making this now. I’m using Horseradish Mustard for a little extra spice. Smells really great.

      I don’t have the cherries or the apple cider vinegar, so making it without those 2 ingredients. I hope it’s as good as with them!

        I used a 6.5 quart in the video. I think it would fit in a 4-quart or larger.
