Gammon steak

Pub classic gammon steak with pineapple and chips

📝 Ingredients

• 4 gammon steaks (1)
• 4 eggs
• 4 slices pineapple (2)
• 400 g oven chips
• 4 tsp sugar (3)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Heat oven to temperature in the instructions on the oven chips.
2. 215 minutes before you start to cook the steaks pop the oven chips into the oven. Take the gammon steaks out of the fridge and allow them to come to room temperature.
3. 3Take the steaks out of the packet and pat dry with some kitchen paper.If the steaks have a layer of rind and fat round one side, they will curl as you cook them. To stop this happening and to ensure even cooking either remove, snip though the rind and fat every 2 cm. The easiest way to do this is with a pair of kitchen scissors.
4. 4Drizzle a little oil into a heavy frying pan, set over a medium high heat and allow to heat up. Add the steak, if the pan is hot enough it should sizzle when you put it in.Fry the steak for 3-4 minutes until it is starting to turn golden brown on the underside.
5. 5If some white liquid comes out of the gammon, pop it onto a plate, drain and wipe the pan, add a little more oil and carry on cooking.As the first side cooks drain the pineapple rings, and sprinkle half a teaspoon of sugar over each one
6. 6Flip the steaks over. Add the pineapple to the pan, sugared side down.Start frying the eggs in a separate pan.
7. 7Sprinkle a little more sugar onto the top side of the pineapple and flip it over half way through cooking the second side of the gammon.
8. 8Check seasoning and serve.
