If your step is high enough, there should be some serious bending going on in the front leg of the step up motion.
I have had knee pain in the recent past and ALWAYS the answer to my problem is lazy glute muscles. My glutes weren't firing, all the teeny-tiny supporting muscles around my knees were doing the work.
You'll have to tell more about your knee injury a couple of weeks ago to really get an accurate assement, but my initial response would be to figure out why there was pain (that's not normal) and try to fix it rather than ignore it and maybe further perpetuate a problem.
