If you just want to clean it up, go to your local Autobarn, Supercheap, Repco and buy a can of degreaser. I spray that onto a cloth and wipe it around. Others spray the degreaser directly around the engine bay and wash it off. I don't do this due to the risk of getting moisture into the electricals.

What about steam cleaning? Or is that even worse?

I too suggest just some elbow grease, rag and degreaser. Its a lot more rewarding and cheaper too :)

Just be sure to cover up any auxillaries that may not appreciate the drenching, such as the Alternator, ignition coil, ignition module and the battery.
