Attaching wooden stairs to ground?

My deck was built with two steps connected to wooden sides. This unit sits next to the deck and is attached to the deck with steel strapping in the back. It wobbles slightly on the ground. It isn't a big deal to me, but it bothered a friend's young child who was visiting.

How can I attach this more firmly to the ground so that it doesn't wobble? On one side, it rests on the concrete pavers that lead up to the deck. On the other side, it rests on the dirt.

I'm fairly handy, but other than building a box and pouring concrete to create a flat surface (which seems like a lot of work), I can't think of much.

The ground feels firm underfoot, not squishy, but settling might be an issue. This is in New England if climate matters.

Thanks.

Update:

The steps look like this, except they are made of the same wood the desk is made of.

    Technically speaking outside wooden stair should never touch the ground or concrete, this is because water/moisture will get in between the stair and whatever they're sitting on and start to rot because drying out will take longer or will stay damp.

    There should be an 1"/25mm gap to the ground with flat bars which are concreted down & bolted to the stringers. Like in this picture, https://plus.google.com/photos/1021651668821409407...

    You don't attach stairs to the ground. You give the bottom of the stairs a firm surface to rest on, at the right height so the stairs are level and don't wobble when walked on. Buy yourself a concrete paver and place it under that wobbly side. You might want some sand or small gravel for adjusting the height of the paver. You can use a couple of shims between the stairs and the concrete, if necessary.

    If you get a lot of freezing, you may have to make adjustments form time to time. Wood shouldn't rest on dirt, anyway. Makes it rot much faster.

    Along with stone, mud and animal parts, wood was one of the first materials worked by early humans. Microwear analysis of the Mousterian stone tools used by the Neanderthals show that many were used to work wood. The development of civilization was closely tied to the development of increasingly greater degrees of skill in working these materials.

Get a life this is supposed to be a safe place for people to use their freedom of speech to post questions and get answers without criticism from dumb asses like yourself.
