Julia Child’s Ham Steaks with Madeira Cream Sauce

Julia Child’s Ham Steaks with Madeira Cream Sauce is the latest best tasting sauces over ham steaks I have ever had, even though I changed the recipe slightly the flavors are fantastic.

I did use garlic instead of shallots since I prefer the flavor over them with this creamy sauce it's just totally one of the best tasting ham steaks ever!

I also add some heat to the dish because I love a little kick and the peas are optional so if you're familiar with Julia's recipe, we have changed and adapted this basic sauce to make it our own.

Even though I adapted the recipe to our preference it's still delicious, and most of the family isn't fond of peas so I didn't add them to my dish either but you can be your own judge.

Being a big fan of French cooking and Juila's cookbooks, you may also like to try Juila's Steak Diane and Juila's Coquilles Saint Jacques recipes both super easy also.

Simple and Quick Madeira

I was really pleased on how easy this recipe was, I dabble in many of Julia's recipes and I feel simplicity is best.


The ham is very tender and the flavors from the butter and heavy cream are a nice addition for the sauce with Madeira.


There are not a lot of complicated steps to the recipe and can be made quickly for any weeknight meal.


I personally like to had a side dish or Twice Baked Potatoes (which I usually make the day before and have them all week for sides) and Air Fried Asparagus on the side.
