The reaction between iron and steam is much slower than the reactions between steam and metals higher in the reactivity series.
Heat often has to be applied to the iron in the test tube to initiate the reaction with steam and speed it up. Even when this is done, the iron does not glow and burn like magnesium does. Instead, the iron turns black as the iron oxide is formed.
