Ham steak with pineapple

My mother in-law shared this recipe with me right after I got married.  It is inexpensive and quick to make when you are in a hurry. The pineapple juice mixed with the butter and brown sugar is great on rice too.

In a large sauté pan on medium heat, melt butter and add pineapple slices.  Add 2 TBSP of brown sugar over the top of the pineapple slices.  Heat pineapple slices for 2 minutes on each side.  Move pineapple slices to one side of the pan.  Add ham and cover with remaining brown sugar and then cover the ham with the pineapple slices cooking for 3 minutes. Flip ham, cooking another 3 minutes, keeping the pineapple on top.  Add reserved pineapple juice, enough to cover the ham and simmer for 5 minutes.
