Very Cherry Ham Steaks

Ingredients

2 low-soidum ham steaks, each 1/4 inch thick (about 14 oz. total)
8-oz can cherry cola
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp. canned low-sodium tomato paste
2 tsp. balsamic vinegar
1/2 tsp. Dijon mustard
1/8 tsp. ground black pepper
1 scallion, chopped

Directions

Coat a large skillet with cooking spray and place over medium-high heat. Cut the steaks in half and cook for 2 minutes per side, or until browned. Remove to a plate. Dump the soda, Worcestershire, and vinegar into the pan, scraping the pan bottom. Boil over high heat for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced to about 1/4 cup. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the tomato paste, mustard, and pepper. Return the steaks to the pan and cook, turning, for 2 minutes, or until coated with sauce. Scatter the chopped scallion over the top.
