• Brown ham in 1/3 of butter over moderately high heat in a skillet or wok until it begins to brown.
• Remove and set the ham aside.
• Melt another 1/3 of the butter in the skillet or wok and sauté the onions.
• When they start to soften and turn translucent, add the peppers and the final 1/3 of the butter.
• When the onions have somewhat browned, add the ham and the pineapple, juice and all.
• Stir the sauce until smooth again (since the cornstarch tends to settle) and pour into skillet or wok.
• Increase heat and stir until the sauce begins to bubble.
• Reduce heat and stir for a minute or two until the cornstarch is fully cooked; if too thick, thin with a little water or broth.
• Serve over steamed rice as soon as possible. I like to sprinkle some dried hot red pepper flakes over it; I love hot food and this gives the dish some zing!
