Hello MichaelJSpence ,
You can create the custom column with the below code..
Text.Trim(Text.Replace(Text.Replace([Transaction], "XLM", ""), "STR", ""))If you find this helpful , please mark it as solution and Your Kudos are much appreciated!

Hi MichaelJSpence, I don't understand why do you need sigle step, but here you go:
Result
let Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("i45WcirKTMxT8E2sVNJRCsipLM/PT1GI8PFVcMpPLEopBgoeWmxobqpnYKAUqxOt5JZYVJSfnaHgVJpTnFiUiKQHol4hOCQIrMfYxEjP1BCsxys/I0/BJTUxOT8PKAUy2wOoFEkTxBILPXNLsPqg/PTUIoWQxMqc/CKgFFwx0GgUDWbmeiZGSrGxAA==", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [Person = _t, Transaction = _t, Amount = _t]), #"Removed XML and STR" = Table.TransformColumns(Source, {{"Transaction", each Text.Combine(List.RemoveMatchingItems(Text.Split(_, " "), {"XLM", "STR"}), " "), type text}}) in #"Removed XML and STR" - 1 year ago
considering Source is your data, run the below code
let
Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table3"]}[Content],
#"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Person", type text}, {"Transaction", type text}, {"Amount", type text}}),
#"Replaced Value" = Table.ReplaceValue(#"Changed Type",{"XLM","STR"},"",(a,b,c)=> List.Accumulate(b,a,(x,y)=>Text.Replace(x,y,c)),{"Person", "Transaction", "Amount"})
in
#"Replaced Value"
to reach this result
for more explanation about List.Accumulate check my video here

NewStep=Table.TransformColumns(YourTableName,{"Transaction"},each Text.Combine(List.RemoveItems(Splitter.SplitTextByAnyDelimiter({" ","XLM","STR"})(_),{""})," ")})
