Dragon/Steel and Steel/Dragon are the same typing: in battle the order of a Pokémon's two types makes no difference, so a Steel/Dragon search lands on this page too.
Going the other way, Dragon and Steel moves between them hit Ice, Rock, Dragon and Fairy super effectively, but Steel takes reduced or no damage from both.
