You need to "provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible 
code" such as:

> fit <- clogit(I(state=='treated')~.,Puromycin)
> step(fit)

which runs just fine.

You have no strata() in your formula. Are you sure you want clogit??

If so, use an idiom like

 	step(fit, scope=list(lower=~strata(stratvar)) )
