Sweet and Sour Ham Stir-Fry

I love pineapple and ham together. I also love sauted bell peppers and onions.  These ideas crossed my mind when I had a leftover ham steak in the fridge.  I decided to go for a sweet and sour take and I promise it is tasty.

1  large ham steak/ slice (about 12 ounces) cut into thin strips
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 Tablespoon butter
3 large bell peppers sliced into thin strips (I like to mix the colors)
1 large yellow onion sliced into thin strips
2 large cloves garlic, very thinly sliced
1 20 ounce can pineapple chunks/tidbits packed in juice not syrup, drained with juice reserved
½ cup chicken broth
½ cup brown sugar
2 Tablespoons light soy sauce
2 Tablespoons honey
A dash-1 Tablespoon Sriracha hot sauce depending on heat preference



In a small bowl, mix chicken broth, pineapple juice, brown sugar, soy sauce, honey, and sriracha sauce.  Put aside. In a large skillet on medium high heat, heat olive oil and butter until butter is melted. Add onions, bell peppers and garlic.  Sauté until vegetables start to soften.  Add ham.  Continue to stir-fry for 3 minutes.  Pour in sauce mixture and bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.  Reduce to simmer for 10 minutes.  Serve over steamed rice.
