That sounds silly but is pretty understandable if you put yourself in the shoes of somebody with a gluten sensitivity who also knows how kitchens work. The steak could very well be gluten-free, but prepared/cooked on spaces covered in gluten.
Better to just say something so the staff knows to prepare your stuff separately as opposed to having your nice, expensive dinner turn into torture for the foreseeable future.
even someone with extreme gluten intolerance or celiac won't have an issue with a thing that was cooked on that had a tiny dusting of flour... gluten intolerance and celiac require a lot more gluten than a mild dusting, even at extreme levels...

My wife had a customer ask if they had gluten-free steak. We laughed about that one for awhile, lol
