In the sense 'enter into' it usually takes u + accusative: stupiti u brak, u kontakt, u službu; related constructions include stupiti na dužnost 'take office' and stupiti na snagu 'come into force'. In the literal sense 'to step' it sounds rather literary; in everyday speech stati, ući or ugaziti are usual.
