Abstract: We study some strong combinatorial properties of

e x t s f M A D

families. An ideal

m a t h c a l I

is Shelah-Stepr={a}ns if for every set

X s u b s e t e q {l e f t [o m e g a i g h t]}^{< o m e g a}

there is an element of

m a t h c a l I

that either intersects every set in

X

or contains infinitely many members of it. We prove that a Borel ideal is Shelah-Stepr={a}ns if and only if it is Katv{e}tov above the ideal

e x t s f f i n i m e s e x t s f f i n

. We prove that Shelah-Stepr={a}ns

e x t s f M A D

families have strong indestructibility properties (in particular, they are both Cohen and random indestructible). We also consider some other strong combinatorial properties of

e x t s f M A D

families. Finally, it is proved that it is consistent to have

m a t h r m n o n (m a t h c a l M) = {a l e p h}_{1}

and no Shelah-Stepr={a}ns families of size

{a l e p h}_{1}

.
