Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Rub each pork steak with olive oil, then generously season both sides with the spice mixture, ensuring even coverage.
Place the seasoned pork steaks in a baking dish in a single layer.
Pour the chicken broth around the edges of the baking dish, taking care to not wash off the spice rub from the top of the pork steaks.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil, sealing tightly to keep the steam in, and place it in the preheated oven.
Bake in the oven for 45 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for an additional 15 minutes to allow the pork to brown on top.
Check that the pork steaks are fully cooked by ensuring they reach an internal temperature of at least 145°F (63°C).
Remove from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving, allowing the juices to redistribute.
Serve hot alongside your favorite low-carb side dishes, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad.
