Yes, it looks there you just want

<xsl:for-each-group select="*" group-adjacent="boolean(self::step)">
               <xsl:choose>
                   <xsl:when test="current-grouping-key()">
                       use your template here
                   </xsl:when>
                   <xsl:otherwise>
                       <xsl:apply-templates select="current-group()"/>
                   </xsl:otherwise>
               </xsl:choose>
           </xsl:for-each-group>
