Steel is an alloy consisting mostly of iron, with a carbon content between 0.2% and 2.1% by weight.
Carbon is the most 'cost effective' (highest 'added value') alloying material for iron, but various other alloying elements are used, such as nickel, manganese, chromium in RVS, tungsten in HSS steel, and some others.
So you'll have to look for some more mineral ores, but carbon is not a mineral.
