Ingredients
  

Base ingredients

  • 4 pieces Fresh ham steak about 2 pounds, sliced into 1-inch thick pieces
  • 1 large-sized Onion diced
  • 2 cloves Garlic peeled and halved
  • 1 piece Green bell pepper stems removed and deseeded, diced
  • 1 piece Red bell pepper stems removed and deseeded, diced
  • 2 medium-sized Zucchini cut into thin, round slices
  • 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
  • 2 tbsp. Olive oil
  • ½ tsp. Salt
  • 4 pieces Bay leaf dried
  • 4 tbsp. Fresh parsley finely chopped

Marinade ingredients

  • 2 tbsp. Olive oil
  • 2 cloves Garlic pressed
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1 tbsp. Honey
  • 4 tbsp. Lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 1 tsp. Dried thyme
  • 1 tsp. Dried rosemary
  • ½ tsp. Ground black pepper
  • ½ tsp. Ground paprika
  • 1 tsp. Salt

Instructions
 

  • Mix all the marinade ingredients in a bowl large enough to hold the steaks until they blend well. Place the steaks in the marinade and cover with cling film or plastic wrap. Keep it in the refrigerator for an hour. After 30 minutes, shake the bowl or flip the steaks to ensure they are evenly coated.
  • In the meantime, prepare the vegetables. Fifteen minutes before the marinating time is over, preheat the oven to 375°F degrees.
  • Transfer the marinated steaks onto a baking tin. Pour the marinade mixture over. Place the vegetables on top of the steaks. Drizzle olive oil, sprinkle the salt, and put in the bay leaves.
  • Place the baking tin in the middle rack of the preheated oven. Cook for about an hour. After 50 minutes, check for doneness. If the internal temperature of the steaks reaches 135°F degrees, they are cooked.
  • Take the tin out of the oven and cover with aluminum foil. Let the steaks rest for about 20 minutes at room temperature before serving.
  • Transfer the steaks to serving plates. Add vegetables on the top or to the side of the steaks. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • The fresh ham steak recipe uses a meat thermometer to check for doneness. But if you don't have one, you can control whether or not the steaks are cooked using a knife. Poke with the knife to the side of one steak; if it quickly pulls apart, it's cooked through.
