Stepping Out means to court one another. In the show, Fabian's Uncle was obviously sort of old, and it was a term that probably few people used to use. People in older days would court each other, or step out together. It can also be used as fancying each other. Or dating.

I know this because my grandmother saw me with one of my guy friends and asked me if he and I were stepping out. I asked her what it meant and she told me. Of course I said no; the dude is like my brother.
