There is no breed called "Steel", at least, not in the U.S. (Nor, I suspect, in Canada). There is, however, a color called steel, which is caused by a gene carried by several breeds, the New Zealand being one.

I had an entire litter of rabbits that looked very much like this picture. They were a mix between Cals and New Zealand Reds. Dark hair tipped with brown/gold color with an almost entirely solid head, again much like this original picture.

Hello again 1 more qestion on this topic could I show my rabbit ?
While it seems that it is common for New Zealands to have the Steel gene, they are only shown in White, Red, and Black (and Broken). So no, this rabbit isn't showable. However, depending on what she was bred to, it is entirely possible for her to produce showable colors - particularly Black.
