Mass Effect 2 DLC Broken for Steam

What it says. I got ME2 on Steam, then picked up the DLC from here https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/origin/origin/download-dlc-for-classic-origin-games/

The problem is twofold. First when I start up the game I get a message about the DLC not being authorized and having to log in first. Then when I try to enter my key and log in to the cerberus network it says my "connection was interrupted." 

How are other steam purchasers getting the DLC to work? If it's just broken then does it work through origin? I'm really hoping to avoid dealing with origin, but I'll do it as a last resort if it means I can check out ME2 with all the bells and whistles.

    I found a solution to my problem a few minutes after posting this, so I'll throw it up here for anyone having the same problem. Go to this link and redeem the key you got for the cerberus network from steam. https://myaccount.ea.com/cp-ui/redemption/index

    Then just start up the game again. You'll get the not authorized message again, but then cerberus network will connect and all the DLC will be active.
