I'm not sure about Ruby in Steel in particular, but Rails applications have layout files in [app root]/app/views/layouts. In a new folder, run rails someappname and then rails scaffold something from the command line and then navigate to someappname/app/views/layouts to see what a layout in Rails looks like.
