Preparation
- Remove any excess fat from each ham steak.
- Cut the apples into quarters. Cut away and discard the cores. Peel the quarters.
- Use 2 skillets, preferably nonstick, large enough to hold the ham pieces. Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in each skillet. Add 1 tablespoon of shallots to each skillet. Cook briefly, stirring, and add one ham steak to each skillet.
- Arrange one quartered apple around each steak. Spoon half the Madeira over the apples in each skillet. Cover closely and cook 5 minutes. Transfer the ham steaks to a hot platter and arrange the partly cooked apples around or over the pieces of meat.
- Pour the cooking liquid from one skillet into the other skillet. Add the 2 remaining tablespoons of wine, the tomato paste and mustard, and stir to blend. Bring to a simmer, swirl in the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and pour the sauce over the ham and apples.
