I don't have experience with that plugin but taking a look to the code it seems you're missing the validation logic. This is the code extracted from examples page.

$("#wizard-2").steps({
    headerTag: "h3",
    bodyTag: "section",
    transitionEffect: "slideLeft",
    onStepChanging: function (event, currentIndex, newIndex)
    {
        $("#form-2").validate().settings.ignore = ":disabled,:hidden";
        return $("#form-2").valid(); 
    },
    onFinishing: function (event, currentIndex)
    {
        $("#form-2").validate().settings.ignore = ":disabled";
        return $("#form-2").valid();
    },
    onFinished: function (event, currentIndex)
    {
        alert("Submitted!");
    }
});
