Various iron ores are used (e.g. magnetite, hematite, goethite, limonite, siderite) to start with.
That is mixed with limestone and coke in a blast furnace to make cast iron.
The cast iron is then put in a Basic Oxygen Process furnace to burn off the excess carbon and you get carbon steel.
There are other slightly different processes that can be used and various other alloying elements can be added to get a steel with specific desired properties.

Which best describes stainless steel mixture or element or ore or mineral?
Stainless steel is an alloy, not a pure element or mineral. It is primarily made of iron, chromium, and other elements like nickel and manganese. These components are combined in specific proportions to create a material that is resistant to corrosion and staining.
What mineral is used to manufacture steel?
Depends on the alloy. Steel at its simplest is just a mix of iron with a bit of carbon
What mineral can be scratched by a steel knife but not a copper penny?
Copper. Copper has a hardness of 2.5-3 on the Mohs scale, while a steel knife generally has a hardness of around 5.5 - 6.5. This means that a steel knife can scratch copper, but a copper penny cannot scratch a steel knife.

Is steel a rock or mineral?
There's a fundamental problem with the question. Iron is not a "mineral" in the usual sense of the word. Elemental iron is too reactive to be found in nature as a mineral. Leaving that aside... Steel is not "iron". It's mostly iron, with a small admixture of other stuff. So it's not the same as elemental iron, but it's pretty close.
What is the name of a mineral that is considered valuable and can be made into something such as steel?
