So it would seem I've been going about it wrong. Maybe some day, when I
have another situation that needs something soldered to steel, I'll try
to chase down a "proper" method, but for right now, trying to educate me
on how to do it would be a waste of effort for both of us, since I
haven't the interest to sit down and learn it. (zero practical
motivation for doing so at this time - ask me again next month when I
figure out that soldering would be the best way to deal with some new
project involving steel that's caught my attention! )

When you get around to it, ask the people at Kester solder. They'll give you
complete details on soldering both plain carbon steels and stainless. It
helps to watch someone do it, because you may be burning the flux off or
trying to do it with insufficient heat.
