NUnit test class what has functions Step1,Step2,Step3...

You could do the testing in one big test case where you test the StepN's functionality . - You'll have much assertations and checks in one testcase(which is not a great idea?)

 [Test]
    public void TestSteps()
    {
        // Run Step1
        // Validate Step1
        //Test Step2
        //Validate Step2
    }

 [Test]
    public void TestSteps()
    {
        // Run Step1
        // Validate Step1
        //Test Step2
        //Validate Step2
    }

Or you create N test cases and in every testcase you run the Steps from 0 to N-1 with validating their result. - This results in redundant testing, and in some testcases still a lot assertations.

    [Test]
    public void TestStep1()
    {
        // Run Step1
        // Validate Step1
    }

    [Test]
    public void TestStep2()
    {
        // Run Step1
        // Validate Step1
        // Run Step2
        // Validate Step2
    }

    [Test]
    public void TestStep1()
    {
        // Run Step1
        // Validate Step1
    }

    [Test]
    public void TestStep2()
    {
        // Run Step1
        // Validate Step1
        // Run Step2
        // Validate Step2
    }

So you can do, NOT validating the Step results from 0 to N-1 and make sure that the TestStepN-1 test runs before TestStepN-2 by applying Order attribute to them. Then you test the StepN function... - Testing is not redundant however calling the StepN function of the tested class is. - Order attribute needs to be applied and some people says good tests shouldn't depend on the running order...

    [Test, Order(1)]
    public void TestStep1()
    {
        // Run Step1
        // Validate Step1
    }

    [Test, Order(2)]
    public void TestStep2()
    {
        // Run Step1
        // Run Step2
        // Validate Step2
    }

    [Test, Order(1)]
    public void TestStep1()
    {
        // Run Step1
        // Validate Step1
    }

    [Test, Order(2)]
    public void TestStep2()
    {
        // Run Step1
        // Run Step2
        // Validate Step2
    }
