You could do something like this:

def detail(request, pk):
    recipe = Recipe.objects.get(id=pk)
    steps = Steps.objects.filter(recipe_id=pk)
    template = loader.get_template('recipe/recipe_detail.html')
    context = {
        'recipe': recipe,
        'steps': steps
    }
    return HttpResponse(template.render(context, request))

And make appropriate changes to your template. 

There's really no point is doing this. Within the template, {{ recipe.steps }} should already contain everything that {{ steps }} would contain in this instance. All you've done is created extra work for the ORM and added complication to the code.

Your context should only contain { 'recipe': recipe } at this point. Frankly, I'm not sure if it even needs that if you are using the built-in class-based views such as DetailView.
