Season the pork steaks with salt and ground black pepper on both sides and set them aside.
Chop the bacon into bite-sized pieces. Peel and thinly slice the onions. Mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once the oil is hot, sear the pork steaks for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Remove the steaks from the skillet and set them aside.
In the same skillet, add the chopped bacon and cook over medium heat until crispy. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
Leave about 2 tablespoons of bacon fat in the skillet. Add the butter to the pan and let it melt. Then, add the sliced onions. Cook over medium heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions are caramelized.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Sprinkle the fresh thyme over the onions and mix well.
Return the crispy bacon to the skillet with the caramelized onions. Stir to combine and cook for 1-2 minutes.
Nestle the seared pork steaks back into the skillet, spooning the onion and bacon mixture over the top. Cover the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes over low heat until the pork is fully cooked and tender.
Serve the pork steaks hot, smothered with the onion and bacon mixture. Pair with mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite vegetable side dish.
