Steel is not an element, but is a mixture we call an alloy. It is mostly iron with a bit of carbon in it; these are the primary ingredients. But it may also contain other elements to give it different characteristics. The carbon is in it at about one percent (ball park), while if we add something over about 11% chromium, we'll get stainless steel.

In the case of steel, it is principally iron (an element), with about 0.2% to 2,0% carbon ( an element), mixed in.
