leaving meat out

[Guest guest]

please tell me I'm just being paranoid:

I left a raw steak on my counter this morning at 8am in a marinade of

kefir, tamari, and chopped garlic. The marinade doesn't submerge the

steak...it comes about halfway up the side, but I turned it once or

twice. I will arrive home around 6pm. I meant to put it in the

fridge before I left, but I forgot. It'll be ok to eat, right? I'm

going to lightly sear it. Then again, the katz might have gotten to

it...
