Beside the unsafe idea of turning the door around to swing out over
the steps anything else I could do?

Maybe a bi-fold door?

If any of you have solved this annoying problem I'd love to hear how
you did it.

I agree with not swinging it over the steps. So swing it the other
way in the kitchen or bifold. I you use a bifold it should fold so
that leaning against the middle of it from the kitchen side does not
open it.
