good question actually carbon and iron react together to make steel but coal although it does contain carbon it also contains nitrogen and oxygen and is already reacted to form steel carbon needs to react with iron so if the carbon could be extracted from coal and then heated up with iron it would indeed form steel but it is a lot of hassle and would be rather expensive.
