He served as an Orlogskaptein in the Royal Norwegian Navy, and worked in the Norwegian Armed Forces intelligence department prior to the Second World War. He was also among the advisers for the Norwegian Labour Party when it in 1932 proposed to replace the entire armed forces with a semi-armed "civil guard". Together with Gunvor Aslaug Ruud (1899–1981), Steen had the daughter Petra Fredrikke ("Bitle") Coldevin Anker Steen (1920–1988). In 1947 she married Ole Henrik Moe, a brother of Anne Stine Ingstad and brother-in-law of Helge Ingstad. Erik Anker Steen died in December 1972. (en)
