Cooking Steps
Don't have a garlic press? Lay the garlic cloves on a chopping board, then place a chef’s knife on top and press down firmly to crush. Finely chop the garlic.
Wash and dry all produce.* Peel, then thinly slice shallot. Roughly chop parsley. Trim beans, then halve. Peel, then mince or grate garlic. Pat ham steaks dry with paper towels. In a small bowl, whisk together broth concentrate, Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 tbsp cornstarch, 1/2 cup warm water and 1/2 tsp sugar (dbl all for 4 ppl). Set aside. (NOTE: This will be your gravy!)
Heat a medium pot over medium heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl) and swirl pan until melted. Add corn and 1/4 cup milk (dbl for 4 ppl). Bring up to a simmer. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until softened, 2-3 min. Using a masher, lightly mash corn.
To the pan with mashed corn, add cornmeal, half the parsley, half the garlic, 1/2 tsp salt and 1 cup water (dbl all for 4 ppl). Bring up to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened 1-2 min. Remove from heat, then stir in sour cream. Season with pepper. Cover and set aside.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl), then beans and shallots. Cook, stirring occasionally, until beans are tender-crisp, 5-6 min. Add remaining garlic. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 1 min. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a plate, cover with foil and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium, then add 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl). When hot, add ham steaks. Pan-fry, until golden-brown and cooked through, 2-3 min per side. (TIP: Cook to a min. internal temp. of 71°C/160°F, as size may vary.**). Transfer to a plate and cover to keep warm.
To the same pan, add 1 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl) and gravy mixture. Cook, scraping up the brown bits, until gravy has reduced and thickened slightly 1-2 min. Divide creamed corn grits, veggies and ham steaks between plates. Spoon over gravy. Sprinkle over remaining parsley.
