Narrative:

After touchdown on xxr in ZZZ (first officer landing) I took the airplane at 60 KTS GS. Decelerating through 50 KTS GS I began to apply left rudder to exit on high speed taxiway to which there was no steering response. I then tried the tiller to which I also received no response. I then utilized differential breaking to get the aircraft turning off the runway. I verified that the steering switch was in the on position and that there were no annunciation messages; as we were clearing the runway I told my first officer (first officer) that I had negative steering and to notify tower that we would be stopping clear of the runway to run a checklist which she did. Once we were stopped clear of the runway with the parking brake set I cycled the steering switch to ensure it was indeed on. We looked through the east and a checklist trying to find the appropriate checklist for our situation considering we had no caution or warning messages associated with this malfunction. The most appropriate checklist was on 10.2 of the east and a checklist 'nosewheel steering caution'. It has no guidance if the malfunction is not annunciated other than if the nosewheel and tiller are centered and no caution light is illuminated that is the end of the checklist. About this time we heard the 'clunk' associated with the nosewheel steering engaging. I tried the tiller and we could feel the nosewheel turning in place. I told the first officer to let the flight attendants know why we were stopped and that we should be moving shortly. I then called maintenance control. I apprised them of the situation and our actions. They said we were ok to taxi in if we were comfortable with it. I discussed it with my first officer and with both of us being comfortable taxiing in; we informed tower we were ready to taxi in. We taxied slowly to [the] gate without incident where I made an aml (logbook) entry and maintenance met the aircraft. An 'un-annunciated nosewheel steering failure' checklist in the east and a would have been helpful.
