((as) true as steel)
преданный и верный, преданный душой и телом

‘He was but a poor man himself,’ said Pegotty, ‘but as good as gold and as true as steel’ - those were her similes. (Ch. Dickens, ‘David Copperfield’, ch. III) — "Он сам бедняк, - сказала Пеготти, - но сердце у него золотое, а надежен он, как сталь" - таковы были ее сравнения.

Rose was to have a fine, generous soul, a noble intellect profoundly cultivated, a heart as true as steel, but the manner to attract was not to be hers. (Ch. Brontë, ‘Shirley’, ch. IX) — Роза обладала благородным и развитым умом, любящим, преданным, великодушным сердцем, но не обаянием.

I admit that she has her faults - she is secret and self-willed... But true as steel, and high-minded and generous to a fault. (W. Collins, ‘The Moonstone’, ‘The Second Period’, ch. III) — Я признаю, что у нее есть недостатки: она скрытная и своевольная... Но она человек преданный и верный, благородный и исключительно щедрый.
