Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper to form a paste.
Rub the spice paste evenly over each pork steak, ensuring they are well coated.
In a large baking dish, arrange the pork steaks in a single layer.
In another bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, and chicken broth. Pour this mixture over the pork steaks in the baking dish.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to prevent the pork from drying out.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Then, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the pork steaks are fully cooked and tender.
Check doneness by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the steak; it should read at least 145°F (63°C).
Once done, remove the pork steaks from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving to retain their juices.
Serve the baked pork steaks hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired, alongside your favorite sides.
