This is a longtime favorite of my family -- even the most selective 'diners' like it! Cooked ham is basted with a warm, zesty sauce while grilling. Smoked turkey slices may be substituted for ham.
This ham is delicous!!! I made it on the stove top and cooked the ham in it. I halved the recipe and it worked just fine too. Highly recommended.

Followed Doreen's recipe exactly as written and continuously basted as written. I know a recipe is great when my husband tells co-workers and family members about it. This is a keeper and a must to try.
The ham slice was delicious, my husband said "It's a keeper!" Loved the Horseradish flavor. I used my grill pan on the stove, worked out fine. Used one ham slice and cut the recipe in half. My slice was thin so it took no time at all. Super!
Made this as a last minute thing, it is amazing!!! Had it again tonight for dinner, very easy, very quick, nice and tangy!
Yum. Careful...pending on the thickness of your slices, you may not need the entire grill time! Tasty and easy! Thanks Doreen.
excellent...but i LOVE horseradish sauce...i would add MORE! but as written, terrific. i believe folks that don't like horsey would like this. i used fresh lemon squeezed . try this!
this is the best recipe for ham steaks weird comb. but very GOOD.will use and use again, thank you
Holy cow!! This is Julie Andrews spinning around on a mountain top good!! I used the original recipe...but I changed the amount of brown sugar. My husband doesn't like Honey ham at all, so I was afraid that he would think this too sweet. So I started with a 1/2 c. packed brown sugar...then whisked in another 1/8 c. un-packed until the taste was spicy with just enough sweetness. I then cut (not scored, but actually cut slices into the ham steak) and put a few tsps of the marinade into a ziploc bag and marinated the ham for an hour, while reserving the rest. We don't have an outdoor/indoor grill because we live in an apt and have an electric stove....so I put this on a cookies sheet and broiled it while basting it a few times. I served the remaining marinade on the side for dipping....but I found simply pouring a little over top after cooking tasted the same. For myself I sprinkled on a little red pepper flakes (but that's a new craving for me so I eat it on everything) I tasted my husband's without it and it was DIVINE!! I served with steamed corn. We will definitely have this again. It was AWESOME!!!
Yummy! I used this marinade and baked the ham while it was sitting in the juice/sauce. I didn't have enough lemon, so I added some orange juice. Very good!
this was excellent. Even my kids liked the tangy horseradish sauce. Will definitely make again for a quick easy dinner.
I've served this twice. It is VERY GOOD. I'm not fond of ham because of the gooey parts between the meat, but this changes the consistency and the flavor immensely!
I honestly never would have thought to put ham on the grill! What a good idea! We thought the sauce was delicious. I will definetely be making this again! Thanks!
Great made on stovetop also... just keep basting and turning ham. Has more flavor than when made on the grill.
Very good recipe!! To keep from having flare-ups on the grill when brushing on the sugary mixture, I just marinated my ham slices in the mixture. We then grilled them. They were great, we all enjoyed them for dinner and plan to do this again. Much better than just plain ole ham slices fried in the skillet.
Great recipe! We have reserved ham for holidays in the past, but this recipe is going into the mix!
We are big grillers but had never grilled ham before, in fact, it never even occured to us to do so! What an unexpected treat. The basting sauce is superior. Thanks!
I absolutely love this recipe. I've made it on the bbq and in the oven. I've used the sauce as a dip (thickened) served warm. I'm even thinking of canning the sauce to keep on hand whenever there's ham on the menu!!! Thank you!
Ive had better hams but this is ok. I will prob use this recipe again so Im not always making the same ham over and over. It was easy and with ingredients I always have.
This ham recipe is sooooo delicious. I am really not a ham fan but with recipe I will be. It is tasty without being overpowering. I was very skeptical about the ingredients invovled, but I'm glad I tried it! Thanx Doreen!!
This is the second year I made this for Thanksgiving and everyone absolutely loved it. I used a pre-sliced spiral ham and had none left by the end of the night. Even my guests who don't normally like ham loved it. Don't change anything and enjoy!
Although the grill got quite sticky, the taste and smell was worth it!! Definately a keeper! TX Doreen!
I too thought what a combination, but since I like all of them I decided to give it a try and it's GREAT!!!! I half the recipe for Hubby & Me. And simply cook it on my nonstick indoor grill. Easy & Delicious, Love IT!!!!!
We do ham slices on the grill all the time, but this really makes it different. I made the recipe as it was listed, but only used one large ham slice (for two of us), then stored the rest of the sauce in a container in the refrigerator. Used it for another slice approximately 3 weeks later...it was great! Heated the sauce just before putting the ham on the grill. This is a KEEPER..thanx Doreen!
Oooooh so good!!!!! I followed recipe exactly except for using the broiler instead of a grill. The sauce was out of this world. I was only cooking one ham slice but made the full amount of sauce for 2 slices - so glad we did. We didn't have a drop of sauce left (we used it for dipping too). This sauce is a keeper and we will use it on pork chops too. Thanks submitter.
This was a delicious change from the norm for my boyfriend and I, which is exactly what we were looking for! The grill was out of propane, so instead of grilling, I mixed the sauce and cooked the scored ham in it for about 5 minutes on each side. (The ham slices we buy are already cooked) One thing- try the recipe as-is first, then next time adjust the horseradish accordingly. I prefer a bit more; my boyfriend prefers a bit less.
This was very yummy! I used half the horseradish called for though because my hubby is afraid of it...lol! He told me it was The Bomb! Next time I might add the full amount. Thanks for the recipe :)
Very quick & easy to make. Tastes great. Even my 8 year old daughter likes it!
Sweet, tangy - just heavenly!!!! This was an instant favourite of our whole family (even my 3 year old who generally won't eat meat loved it!)
Delicious way to do ham on the grill. I have made this before without the lemon juice and a bit less horseradish and the sauce stuck to the ham more like a glaze. Yum!
I really enjoyed these ham steaks. I never know what to do with them, but bought them on sale & found this recipe. The only thing I did differently was to spread the sauce on both sides of the steaks & let them sit 1 hour before grilling. Great sandwich leftovers.
This glaze is quick and easy to prepare, and has a wonderful flavor. This one is a keeper.
These were so good! I made ham steaks on my indoor grill and kept basting with the sauce-delicious and flavorful!
Made this for dinner tonight and it was great! Loved the tang of the horseradish with the sweetness of the sugar. It's a keeper.
Made this with pineapple and thought it was just ok. Good use of different ingredients though!
Thank you Doreen....This was great. My husband loved it! The flavor is soooo good. Jane
This was by far the tastiest ham steak ever...Have never had ham steak on the grill but this will be from now on a favorite of mine..Make extra sause for dipping yum yum yum.. Think I will make this tonight AGAIN!!!
The only thing my husband likes more than ham for dinner is more ham. This recipe is a winner. I grilled it very slowly and the ham came out fork tender. I used the leftover ham for sandwiches the next day and used yeast rolls. The blend of flavors was amazing as each flavor became more distinct as we ate. High five, Doreen!!!!
Good flavor but a little strange. It's not quite a ham you want to serve with baked beans and mashed potatoes, but more with something like Chinese noodles and bok choy! I did mine on the stove top and the pan was a little hard to clean, but the overall flavor was good.
This is a great recipe. I found it in my Betty Crocker cookbook when I got married 34 years ago. Wouldn't change anything. The ham cooks quickly on the grill so baste frequestly and don't overcook.
Great recipe! Terrific flavor and so easy to prepare. I reduced the amount of horseradish because I was serving this to my picky kids. Plan on using this for my Easter ham dinner.
Made this with ham steaks on my stove top grill pan. Hubby loves horseradish on ham anyway, so this was perfect for him and the rest of the gang. Quick, easy and delicious. Thanks Doreen!
This was deeelish!! I only used 1/2 the sugar called for and I used a small Kitchen country ham which I sliced and marinaded for a couple of hours before grilling. Will do again and again...Thanks for a great recipe!!
This recipe is so good. The horseradish added so much flavor to the ham steak. I will certainly be making this often. Thanks for the great recipe.
We tried this tonight and it is definitely a keeper! Since I'm not fond of lemon juice, I used orange juice and it was exvellent - still get the citrus flavor without the tartness of lemon juice. It seems like a lot of horseradish, but the citrus and sugar make it sweet and mellow - you really should try this! We will make it again next week with pork chops. It's a tasty, versatile marinade and dipping sauce. And my husband was glad to see that the sweet marinade did not burn while grilling. Thanks, Doreen!
This was wonderful. My husband is not a big fan of horseradish but even he thought it was great. Made it just as the recipe said. A real keeper!
I had bought a ham shank because my daughters had thrown out the ham bone from our Canadian Thanksgiving glazed ham. I wanted to make some yellow pea soup and needed more ham/bone. Okay, so I made this last night using some slices off the ham shank and it was absolutely wonderful. I did it outside on the barbecue. I didn't change a thing. I sliced the ham relatively thick and it didn't take much time at all to cook. Next time I would only make half the sauce recipe as it's only the 2 of us and I had a lot of sauce left over. Personally, I love the plain slices from the ham shank but hubby does not and I had all this ham to use up. Thank you so much Doreen for sharing this great recipe with us. Hubby not only liked it, he thought it was 'interesting'. I actually really enjoyed this myself. I will make this recipe often. I thought the glaze tasted somewhat similar to the Octoberfest mustard that I buy only not as sweet.
WOW!!! Never would've thought to put horseradish on ham steaks. I didn't have lemon juice on hand. Only had a half of a lemon. So I squeezed out all the juice I could, which wasn't much. I used Kraft prepared horseradish, which I found near the cottage cheese at Walmart. Anyhow, I would maybe cut back the brown sugar to only 3/4 cup. But, too bad this is too expensive to make for a potluck. This is WONDERFUL!
My fiancee LOVED it! It definitely is a nice was to change up the usual kind of boring ham slice.
This was delicious and quick, I also put some fresh pineapple rings on the grill and also basted them with the sauce...we loved it....a keeper for sure.
this was awesome! i served with grilled pinapple slices and potato augautin yum!!!
After reading other reviews, I was willing to try it. It just didn't sound good. WOW, was I wrong! I prepared it in a non-stick fry pan because of some of the reviews about flare ups and stickiness. I cut the recipe in half for one slice, which was perfect. My husband had his doubts but encouraged me to use the ingredients Doreen listed. I always listen to my husband :-) Thanks Doreen and all the reviewers. This is a keeper.
Delicious! I used Splenda Brown Sugar Blend (what I have on hand) and loved this!!!! I also cooked this on the stove since I don't have a grill. Next time I will decrease the brown sugar a little more but I really loved the horseradish and lemon juice. I'm so excited to make this again. UPDATE!!! Tonight I could smell my neighbor's charcoal grill next door so I asked him to grill a few ham slices for me. This was again, delicious! I wish I could rate this more than 5 stars!
Used half the brown sugar - rest of recipe stayed the same. Very, very nice treatment to ham on the BARBEE. Will definitely do this one again.
We made two batches of this marinade because my daughter saw the horseradish on the counter before I mixed it and refused to eat it. So...I made one batch with horseradish and one without. The entire family agreed that the batch without actually tasted better. So if you have any picky eaters in your house, just try mixing the brown sugar and the lime juice together for your marinade. I've also heard that PEPSI (not diet) is good to add in with the brown sugar instead of the lime juice.
Wonderful quick recipe. When I was mixing the ingredients together, my youngest son was concerned about how it looked and the ingredients that I was using. When he took his first bite, he relaxed and ate without a complaint any only praise on how good it was. Ditto for my other son. My husband took his first bite, and all he said was 5. Everyone in my family loved this. I followed the directions exactly and used 2 ham steaks. Thanks Doreen
What a nice change for a weekday meal. The horseradish really makes this unique and does not overwhelm. Followed the recipe to the letter, used one of those vacuum-sealed pkgs of Smithfield ham, and the end result was very good. So if you're tired of the same old, same old every night, give this a try. I'm glad we did.
For such a simple recipe, the results are fantastic. I cooked the ham in a grill pan, and used "creamy" horseradish, and the result wasn't very spicy (might have just been the brand). The baste/glaze is delicious - no changes necessary, though some might like extra horseradish.
Very good recipe. As with others I was tentative with the horseradish but it ended up being very good. Made it exactly as instructed and wouldn't change a thing. Will become part of the menu. Defintely a keeper.
We have made this recipe Several times. Well it is the only grilled ham recipe we use anymore . It is SOOOOOOO good . Last time we made it i added 1 Tbsp of honey for something different . Still good. My hubby said this recipe is "Out of this world" . Doreen, Thanks goes to you for sharing this awesome recipe!
Awesome recipe, didn't change a thing (other than making more for leftovers!) I've already made this one 3 times. A definite keeper! I plan on trying this with a baked ham in the fall.
Just made this for dinner tonight. (though I must admit, I'm the typical old fashioned cook. I glanced at the ingredient list and then just dumped rather than measured) The ham steaks were awesome! What a great recipe and one I would have never dreamed up myself. My husband and son loved them, too. Thanks for sharing!
This is the best ham ever!!! Its sweet but not to sweet. Everything combines well together. Thanks for posting!!!!
Great recipe for ham. It is really nice to have such a simple recipe that can be used on a busy worknight, and is not the usual beef or chicken meal.
This was so quick and easy. The perfect recipe to satify a ham craving without all the work of cooking a ham.
Very good! I cut the sauce in half, and cooked it on the stove top until browned. Will make again!
The flavor was really good, but I think I would have preferred not to add any mustard at all...
The husband wasnt too crazy about this one, but he would rather just have plain ham. I really liked it a lot and would definately make it again.
Simply amazing. I did about a half-batch of the sauce and I used six slices of half-inch-thick ham. I scored both sides as directed and just let the ham simmer in the sauce for five minutes per side in a pan on the stove. Excellent. The sauce tasted pretty nasty before adding the ham, but it was great after cooking on the ham and spooned onto stir-fry veggies. My daughter couldn't get enough! Thanks for sharing, Doreen!
I won a Taste of Home recipe contest with this recipe decades ago (Zesty Grilled Ham), and it remains one of my family's all-time favorite dishes. It's based on one from an old Betty Crocker cookbook (1970s, I think). I don't score the surface, but I do always cut through any fat on the edges and in the center of the slices (around the bone) at about 2-inch intervals. That keeps the ham from curling up. This is great broiled, too.
I have made this recipe twice now and it is so delicious. I like to cook it on the gril until the ham gets a little dark on the edges and the left over marinade I baste on the ham while I am eating it. So good!
This was the perfect flavoring. It was our first time grilling ham, but it turned out fantastic. The sweetness was reduced by the horseradish to the point you could taste both in every bite. Definitely a keeper! Next time we're going to try with pork chops. Thanks Doreen!
Dec 2013: Made this in a grill pan on the stove top, poured all the sauce in and cooked it on high until the sauce was thick and gooey. Yummy! Jan 2015 update: Just had to say again how delicious this recipe is. It is an absolute favorite even among the former ham-haters in my house.
Very sinus-opening! The horseradish really adds a kick, but it's SO GOOD. I used this with leftover thanksgiving ham slices.
Simple to make, but a BIG hit at our house, including with children. We used leftover spiral cut, honey ham. Thanks for the recipe!
I found this recipe years ago in a Better Homes and Garden cookbook and it's always been a favorite. You can't go wrong.
I have made this recipe for years... excellent change of pace from burgers or steaks... probably my favorite grilled meat...
Tried this last night and it was wonderful. The only problem was that our grill kept flaming up. Regardless, this is a recipe we'll use over and over on grilled ham. Maybe will even try it on baked ham. Yum!
Delicious! I basted it often while grilling, and watched carefully so the sugar wouldn't burn. It turned out really great. Next time I may up the horseradish a little, but it was yummy as is. Thanks for a really easy and tasty recipe!
Basting the ham as it cooked with this recipe didn't allow the ham to capture the flavors. I wound up using the remaining mixture to dip my ham pieces as I ate, which was great.
Had this last night and family raved about it. I did turn the grill to low and basted ham liberally after each of many turns until it was browned. Very pretty on plate also.
Wonderful! Don't let the amount of horseradish scare you. Once mixed with the other ingredients and grilled,the taste is amazing, sweet with just a bit of a bite and the smell is equally good. I plan on using this same mixture with pork chops. Thank You for Sharing
I've never rated a recipe but this one is awesome! Tender and very tasty. Thankyou for a new favorite!
I have been making this same recipe since 1978 - I found it in my very first cookbook (Betty Crocker) - and it is true that absolutely everyone loves it!
Quick, easy and so good. I followed the recipe exactly. It was just right for us. My hubby said it got hotter the more you ate so we opted to keep the recipe and do not further tweeking.
My hubby and I really liked this one. I had a thick sliced ham steak. I didn't get a chance to do it on the grill. It was still delicious but I can't wait til it gets a little warmer than 15° outside. It will be great on the grill
