But even so, iron, even high-grade, is not steel. How did the Roman smiths make the transformation?

Romans used iron. They knew how to make steel, but having a steel sword was only something that they very upper classes would have had because of cost. If you had a steel sword, you had the Bughatti of swords.

It was called the iron age, not the steel age.
