A Southern classic.
Melt in a large skillet over medium-high heat:
      1 1/2 teaspoons unsalted butter
Add:
      1 fully cooked 1/4-to 1/2-inch-thick ham steak (1 1/2 to 2 pounds each)
Sauté the steak until nicely browned, 3 to 5 minutes each side. Remove to a warmed platter and keep warm. Return the skillet to the heat and add:
      1 cup of brewed coffee
Boil, stirring, until it turns slightly red, and then add:
      1/2 cup of heavy cream
Reduce the heat, and simmer until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes. Season with:
      Salt and ground black pepper to taste
Pour the gravy over the ham steak and serve.
