The 43-year-old may also have friends in the Tayside, Aberdeen or the Inverness areas.
Anyone who believes they have seen him since August 24 is asked to contact police immediately.
He is described as white, 5ft 10ins, of stocky build and clean-shaven complexion, green eyes and a celtic tribal tattoo on his back between his shoulder blades.
He also has an 8inch skin graft on the right arm and speaks with a Scottish accent.
A police spokesman said: "Despite two weeks of enquiries, officers are yet to trace Steven and would urge him to make contact with loved ones or police immediately and let us know he is safe and well."
Anyone with information that can assist in tracing Steven, is asked contact their local Police Station or alternatively Divisional HQ, Hawick on 01450 375051.
