Why not "steps" (rather than "step") in the following phrases?
I assume: the word "step" below is uncountable and abstract.
Does this thought make sense to you?
-------
break step
: to stop walking or marching with the same rhythm as another person or group of people
fall into step
: to begin walking or marching with the same rhythm as another person or group of people
in step
1 : with the same rhythm as someone or something
2 : matching or agreeing with someone or something
mind/watch your step
1 : to walk carefully
2 : to speak or behave carefully
out of step
1 : not moving with the same rhythm as someone or something
2 : not matching or agreeing with someone or something
