There is an XY-wing, but I am much more interested in the possibilities surrounding <48>. I see overlapping W-wings, ...

Edit: I now see the XY-wing makes it a 1-stepper.

It probably would have been a one-stepper for me too, except for the sequence in which I did it. A W-Wing on 48 with pincer coloring takes out the 8s from r1c6 and r6c5. Then I used the Type 4 UR on 28 before my XY-Wing search and found the one that finished it off.
