Can the ownee of a steam group promote someone else to the owner of that group?

Not directly, no.

You would have to remove all other users that joined after the one you want to take ownership joined. You would have to demote any other users you promoted as well. Then, you leave the group.

The one would then be the new owner.

Transferring Ownership

When the current owner leaves the group, the oldest Officer (by join date) will be promoted to owner. If no eligible Officers are available, the oldest Moderator will inherit ownership. If there are no Moderators in the group, the oldest group member will be promoted to owner. The ownership of a group cannot be manually transferred.
