Chop up bacon finely.

Add bacon to a small cast-iron skillet on the rail side of the GrillGrates. Be sure that the skillet is small and does not cover a lot of the surface of the GrillGrates to ensure that you don’t trap too much heat.

Rotate the apples and onion every few minutes to get an all-over char.

Once charred to your liking, chop up into bite-sized chunks and add to the bacon.

Once the mixture has come together and reduced in size a little bit add the light brown sugar and balsamic. Stir.

Grill for 2-3 minutes. Lift and turn 45 degrees. Grill for another 2-3 minutes and flip. Grill another 2 minutes or so. You are just warming the ham steaks as they are already cooked through.

Place bacon in the freezer for about 5 minutes before chopping. This makes it a lot easier to chop!
