Brown sugar ham steak, in particular, is a popular preparation that is often glazed with a mixture of brown sugar and other ingredients like mustard or honey. Here are some potential benefits of incorporating brown sugar ham steak into your diet:

  3. Helps build and repair tissues: The protein in ham is necessary for building and repairing tissues throughout the body, including muscles, bones, and skin.
  4. Boosts immune function: Ham contains zinc, which is important for immune function and wound healing.
