As said before:

Get your instructor to show you what the steep turn attitude looks like (outside!) and make a note of the picture. Perhaps where it cuts the cowling or something like that.

Then:

1. Lookout

2. Select the steep turn attitude, whilst putting on "a bit" of power through 30 degrees AoB.

3. Lookout - Especially into the turn, particularly difficult on high wing a/c.

4. Check the attitude

5. Lookout

6. Check performance (this is altimeter - angle of bank on the Artificial horizon - ball in the middle) DONT try and fix yet - this is the next step!

7. Check the attitude and adjust as appropriate (i.e. if you have started descending then select a new attitude and hold it - DONT keep looking back to the altimeter, select a new attitude and carry on with the lookout and see how this new attitude is affecting your performance next time round)

8. Lookout

9. Return to step 4!
