Ham Steak with Mustard Sauce and Mashed Potatoes

1 ham steak

1 tablespoon butter

1/2 cup half and half

2 tablespoons whole grain or deli style mustard

Maple syrup

Pepper

Brown the ham steak in butter, 2-3 minutes each side.  Remove to a plate.  Deglaze the pan with the half and half, scraping up the yummy bits off the bottom (those bits are called fond, for the uninitiated).  Add the mustard, pepper and a splash of maple syrple.  Serve the sauce with the ham steak and mashed potatoes
