I bought this expensive steak for almost $15, but it was too big so I cut it in half (horizontally). Then I marinated it in some dijon and mustard, sliced onions, olive oil, and just a bit of garlic. I had one of them a few days ago (mmmmmm) but I forgot about the second half. So it's been sitting in the fridge for a week now. Two things: (1) I once ate a marinated week-old steak, nothing happened. (2) I've heard that onions help to increase the 'longevity" of food, including meats. True? Should I throw it out? It doesn't look like it's gone bad or doesn't smell.

Some chefs believe that steaks should be aged at least 7 days in the fridge in order for it to be at its best.

You should be okay with that now but not too much longer. The olive oil helps to seal away any oxygen that would get to the meat and harm it. Just remember the longer you marinate it the more it tastes like the marinade and less like meat.

As long as you have not got any thing salty such as Worcheshire or soy in it you could probably store it for a day but no more than 2 days. It is time to throw it.
