Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, and dried rosemary.
Pat pork shoulder steaks dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Rub the prepared spice mixture evenly over both sides of each pork steak.
In a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter.
Once the butter is sizzling, add the pork steaks to the skillet, searing for about 2-3 minutes per side until they develop a golden-brown crust.
Remove the skillet from the heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the pork steaks.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the steaks reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the pork steaks with your choice of keto-friendly sides, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad.
