3 lbs smoked brown sugar ham, cut into 1/2-inch thick steaks (or mixture of Ham or Spam) or 3 lbs Spam, sliced (or mixture of Ham or Spam)
1 (20 ounce) can pineapple chunks, drained (optional) or 1 fresh pineapple, cored peeled and cut into chunks (optional)
2 -3 green bell peppers, cut into chunks (optional)
1 large onion, cut into wedges
steamed long grain jasmine rice (optional)
Sauce
1 cup brown sugar style barbecue sauce
1 cup crushed pineapple in juice
1 1/2 teaspoons yellow mustard
1 tablespoon grated ginger
1 tablespoon light molasses
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon cider vinegar
1 tablespoon mirin
1 teaspoon liquid smoke
2 teaspoons dark sesame oil or 2 teaspoons hot sesame oil

1
Simmer sauce ingredients over low heat 30 minutes.
2
Use sauce immediately, or allow to cool and puree for a smoother texture.
3
Apply to grilled ham steaks or Spam (grill outdoors or on the George Foreman grill).
4
Cooked/smoked meats need only to be heated through and have some nice grill marks, so place steaks on a very hot grill, then turn halfway for a cross-hatched effect.
5
Cook pineapple, onion and green pepper in a grill pan/skillet or on skewers if you are using, basted with a little sauce). If you use bamboo skewers, soak them 30 minutes submerged in cold water prior to loading with veggies (otherwise they might burn on the grill).
6
Serve it all on top of steamed jasmine rice, if desired.
