Do it with the motor running. That's the proper way to bleed it. Brakes are tied in with the power steering explaining your issue. Do what you've been doing but have the motor running while doing it to get the pump bled. Should fix the problem as long as you don't have any leaks

You may have put alot of air in just from doing it with the engine off. Try redoing it with engine running. It may take a bit but you shoulnt have alot of issues.
