Maybe adding something at the beginning of the script to set a default
$STEAM value would be the best solution. The value could be replaced
later when the arguments are parsed, in case one was specified by a
command-line option.
Something like this:
... <set variables> ...
if test -f ./steam ; then
STEAM="./steam"
elif test -f ../steam ; then
STEAM="../steam"
else
STEAM=""
fi
... <parse command-line arguments> ...
