A method of producing an ultra-low-carbon steel by conducting vacuum-decarburization of a molten steel by means of a vacuum degasifier of the type having recirculation pipes and a vacuum chamber. When the carbon content of the molten steel has come down to a level of 50 ppm or less, hydrogen gas is introduced together with an inert gas into the molten steel either by directly injecting a hydrogen- containing gas into the molten steel in the vacuum chamber through a tuyere provided in the wall of the vacuum chamber or by blowing the hydrogen-containing gas onto the surface of the molten steel in the vacuum chamber through a lance provided in the vacuum chamber. In order to enhance the effect produced by the method of the present invention, it is possible to take an additional measure such as blowing of hydrogen gas through a tuyere provided in the wall of the recirculation pipe or injection of hydrogen or hydrogen- containing gas through an injection lance immersed in the molten steel held in, a ladle.
