I think this book has a two word title and the second word it STEEL. I read it years ago so I think the printing date is sometime in the 1990's to the early 2000's. Not a very poplular book and only printed in paperback. I think.

Could it be Higher Education by Charles Sheffield?

First published January 1, 1996

When a misfired practical joke gets him kicked out of school, Rick Luban thinks he has nowhere to go but down. Instead, he gets a second chance--and a whole new life--when he signs up for a career in asteroid mining.

But life in space proves more challenging than Rick expected. Competition is intense and the harsh realties of space allow no room for error. On his way to a brighter future, Rick faces ever more demanding tests, as well as the very real dangers of sabotage and murder.

Not the book I am looking for but thanks for the suggestion. The main character in the book I am looking for is a cop.
