Hi. TOEFL is no longer required . They have incorporated oral english proficiency as part of the step 2 CS. Step 2 CS has replaced the CSA ( which used to require TOEFL)

But if u have time I think you should do it because although isn’t mandatory for USCE they take it in count.

USMLE Step 2 CS Replaces ECFMG CSA® and TOEFL® Exam as Requirements for ECFMG Certification
In June 2004, Step 2 CS of the USMLE replaced the former ECFMG Clinical Skills Assessment (CSA) and the Test of English as a Foreign Language™ (TOEFL) as requirements for ECFMG Certification. Applicants who have passed the former ECFMG CSA and achieved a score acceptable to ECFMG on the TOEFL exam can continue to use these passing performances, in lieu of passing Step 2 CS, to satisfy the clinical skills requirement for ECFMG Certification. See Clinical Skills Requirement. Additionally, applicants who have passed the former ECFMG CSA can use this passing performance to satisfy the clinical skills requirement for Step 3. Refer to USMLE Step 2 Clinical Skills (CS) Examination in the USMLE Bulletin of Information for additional information. To meet the clinical skills requirement for Step 3, your most recent clinical skills performance (ECFMG CSA or USMLE Step 2 CS) must be a passing performance. See Official Performance of Record for Examinees Retaking a Previously Passed Step in the USMLE Bulletin of Information.
So, it's no longer required. If your english is good enough, you may save that $$$ and time and use it in your steps, books, online courses, FedEx, trips (hotel, transportation, food) for interviews, application for the match, etc, etc, etc.
