Deep South Ham and Redeye Gravy

This one is great for Breakfast, Lunch, or Dinner:
(4 servings)

1 T. butter
1 Ham steak (about 1&1/3 lb.)
1 cup Espresso* coffee
3/4 t. sugar
1/4 t. Tabasco* sauce

Heat large skillet over med.-high heat until hot. Add butter; tilt the skillet to coat bottom. Add ham steak; cook 3 mins. Turn, and cook 2 mins. longer or until lightly browned. Remove ham to serving platter, set aside, and keep warm. Add coffee, sugar, and Tabasco sauce to same skillet. Bring to a boil over high heat; boil 2-3 mins. or until liquid is reduced to 1/4 cup, scraping up any brown bits. Pour over ham. I would serve cheese grits with chopped mild green chiles, and sliced tomatoes with this. You can also add a poached egg.
