Ham Steaks vs. Ham Hocks

I grew up eating pinto beans with ham hocks. The ham was my favorite part. As an adult, I realized it wasn’t enough meat and switched to ham steaks. If you like meaty pinto beans and ham you may want to make the switch. The ham still is super tender and just as delicious.

This recipe comes together in just under an hour. Once your Instant Pot comes to pressure the beans and ham will cook for 50 minutes. Once the cooking time is over you will want to allow your instant pot to do a “natural release” for 40 minutes.
