At the end of the day, you really do not want to mess around with raw meat. If you plan to use a steak knife to do some prepping of the meat, you will need to clean it thoroughly afterward. While some users will resort to soapy water and elbow grease, you can actually use a mixture of soapy water and white vinegar to clean off the blade. This way, you do not take any chance of catching the vast array of dangerous food illnesses associated with raw meats.
