Centre Slice

Centre ham slices are cross-cuts through the thickest part of a cured or fresh ham—round steaks with a bone bullseye or boneless ovals. They cook fast like chops and are ideal for skillet dinners, Hawaiian-style grills, and diner breakfast plates. Sear or grill briefly; glaze with mustard, pineapple, or brown sugar without burning. Fresh centre slices need the same care as pork steaks—do not overcook. Cured slices are already seasoned; taste before adding salt. Rest a minute so juices settle.
