Ok, having worked in one of my cities Dry Cleaners (we take care of all of the mid to upper class people) I know that in washing silks you run the risk (even in cold water) of bleeding the color out. If the tag says dry clean only then get a home dry cleaning kit, otherwise you run the risk of ruining expensive silks. If you want to hand wash it, DONT throw it in the dryer. Hang dry after gently ringing the water out.
Steak juice works at a dry cleaners as an explanation of the stains, should you choose to have a dry cleaner take care of them - they will use the same type of treatment. Also, from experience, you may want to ask if your Dry Cleaner recycles their PERC and if so, do they put it through a filtering process before reusing? This is important if you want whites to be white when you pick them up.
