Hi,
this was caused by Steam having a "complicated" command line, which was not parsed correctly. However, I just tested with the latest Steam version, and the problem does not occur anymore since they changed their launcher already.

Title:
  App Launches From Xfce Applications Menu But Not From Cairo Dock

Status in Cairo-Dock Core:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Version: 3.4.1
  DM: Xfce

  I launch Steam from the Xfce panel and it successfully launches.
  However, when I make a steam launcher on cairo dock, the icon just
  bounces for a few seconds and then nothing happens.

  To create the Steam launcher I simply dragged the icon in the Xfce
  apps menu into Cairo Dock.
