When you’re done cooking the ham in the skillet, you can use the same pan to make your side of green beans. You can put your fried ham steak in the oven to warm until they are done.

A side salad is a healthy option when deciding what to make with ham. It would be fun to serve a different type of salad that mirrored the season you’re serving it.
