If you don't have at least a 1" air gap behind your steel, & your stove
doesn't have a rating plate to specify the clearance from combustibles,
You have to be 36" away from the OSB.
If you have the air space, I believe you can bring the stove to 12" from the OSB.
NFPA-211 is posted in here. Take a look at it.

Usually, we tell folks to lay steel 2x4s on the flat. That will give you 1-1/2 inches from the wall.
You will also have to keep a minimum 1" air gap top & bottom to allow for convection air flow.
