Steinberg is the author of the Encyclopedia of Jewish Medical Ethics (in Hebrew and English) and Ha’refuah K’halachah (in Hebrew). He is the laureate of the prestigious Israel Prize and the Worthy Citizen of Jerusalem award (Yakir Yerushalayim). Involved with many public committees and legislations in Israel concerning medical ethics, Steinberg has discussed many modern issues in medicine with the Gedolim, including Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach, zt"l, Rav Yosef Shalom Eliashiv, zt"l, Rav Eliezer Yehuda Waldenberg, zt"l, Rav Ovadia Yosef, zt"l, and many others. He has published many of their halachic rulings on these issues.

In addition to many medical field achievements, he has been an invited grand rounds lecturer for several hospitals and universities.
