Is there a way to generate a report that includes test steps count?

I can understand why this would be useful to see but I can't find an obvious reporting solution.  The API route in the links below might offer a solution but if not, I suggest you raise a request with the SmartBear support team - they might be able to provide a solution.

API: You could try the "Get Test Steps" API in the Cloud version, or take a look for something in the Server API depending which version you're using.
