  This paper illustrates a direct connection between quantum steering and
non-trivial preparation contextuality. In two party-two measurement per
party-two outcomes per measurement $(2-2-2)$ Bell scenario, any argument of
Bell nonlocality is a proof of trivial preparation contextuality; however, the
converse may not hold. If one of the parties (say, Alice) performs the
measurements of more than two dichotomic observables, then it is possible to
find a set of non-trivial functional relations between Alice's observables. We
argue that the existence of a suitable set of such non-trivial relations
between Alice's observables may warrant the unsteerability of quantum states at
the end of another spatially separated party (say, Bob). Interestingly, such
constraints can be read as non-trivial preparation non-contextuality
assumptions in an ontological model. We further demonstrate two types of Bell
inequalities that can be converted into linear steering inequalities using the
aforementioned non-trivial conditions on Alice's observables. Such steering
inequalities can also be considered as non-trivial preparation noncontextual
inequalities. Since the local bound of the family of Bell expression gets
reduced under the additional non-trivial conditions, it provides a test of
quantum steering and nonlocality from the same family of Bell expressions
depending upon its violation of the non-trivial preparation non-contextual or
the local bound, thereby establishing a direct connection between quantum
steering and non-trivial preparation contextuality.
