Steel is a mixture, called an alloy.

Explanation:

Homogenous mixtures of metals (together with some non-metals) are called alloys. In an alloy the constituent elements are bonded by metal bonds.
Steel is mainly iron #Fe#, but it also contains carbon #C#.
Depending on the type of steel, it may contain elements like chromium #Cr#, vanadium #V#, manganese #Mn# and others.
These admixtures define the properties of the steel.
