      Yield: 2 Servings
 
      1 lb Ham steak, 1 inch thick
    1/4 c  Light soy sauce
    1/4 c  Dry sherry wine
      1 tb Butter or vegetable oil, (up

      1 ts Minced fresh ginger
    1/4 c  Water
           Salt and freshly ground

    1/4 c  Finely sliced green onions
 
  Remove rind and trim off all but 1/4-inch of outer fat. Score the fat
  edge at 1-inch intervals so the steak does not curl during cooking
  and divide ham steak into 2 serving pieces. Marinate ham in soy sauce
  and sherry wine. Remove ham from marinade. Reserve marinade.
  
  Dry the ham steak and lightly brown in butter for a minute or 2 on
  both sides. Add ginger, water and reserved marinade to the skillet
  and bring to a boil. Cover and cook for 5 minutes or until heated
  through. Remove ham to a serving platter. Boil the liquid down until
  syrupy and season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir in the
  scallions and spoon sauce over steak. Yield: 2 servings
