If it's blowing enough steam out to see, and it's still blowing cold, the most likely cause is a leaky heater core. Does it smell like coolant? Check your cooling system and see if it's low on coolant, and if so, top it off with water, and go directly to your mechanic.

It isn't steam it is water vapor. The water in the air condenses when cooled. Depending on the car and the humidity you will get vapor coming out with the AC running. This is normal.
Just remember that you should blow out the A/C of all water vapor before stopping the engine. If you leave excessive condensation in the system, it can eventually cause problems with crap growing in the AC system (and the funky smell that goes with it). We are talking about $$$ to repair.
This isn't much of a problem during HOT dry climate. But if you live in damp climate (and then do this at evening) you will eventually get mold (etc.) growing in your AC system.
Good luck.

Fog of moisture hitting the cold of the evaporator. You can run recurculate and not open the windows while the a/c is on. Normal condition that sometimes occurs in humid weather.

Yeah, you definitely have something wrong with your A/C unit. You need to go get it looked at and either repaired or replaced. It should not be doing that. It may not be just water, it may have dangerous chemicals in it.

Sounds like it's time for a new a/c condensor.

a/c icing up needs checking thermostat and system for moisture.
