Ham, Potatoes, and Green Beans

Ingredients:

• ham steak(s)
• russet or Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and halved
• green beans, snapped in half, ends trimmed

Tonight, we needed to feed four people, so we used two ham steaks, 8 medium potatoes, and a small apron-full of green beans. I covered the potatoes with water in a large pot, added the ham steaks and simmered it all till the potatoes were tender (20 minutes-ish). I opted to steam the green beans separately, but you could just toss the beans in the same pot as everything else toward the end of cooking. Salt and pepper to taste once plated, and we like to splash a bit of our favorite vinegar on top (red wine vinegar works nicely for some brightness). Minced chives would be a nice boost, too, or a bit of grainy mustard on the side.
