See Peter May's "A General Algebraic approach to Steenrod Operations". Both arise from considering the inclusion of the Sylow p-subgroup into Sigma_{p^2}. There is a universal Z-indexed set of operations with the Steenrod algebra and Dyer-Lashof algebra arising as the quotients acting on the homology of appropriate non-negative (resp., non-positive) complexes.
