Yes that's my favourite part too! STEEM is meant to be pegged to USD, but it's way more valuable now, not entirely sure why though. You get a percentage of the payout, the curators also get some but it should tell you after 7 days and then you can go to Wallet and then Redeem Rewards to get it transferred onto your STEEM profile. I haven't figured it out passed that though as I don't plan to cash out anything this year - just want to power up!
