I have a Markdown enumeration:

  1. sdsdf
  2. sdfsdf

some code 3. sdfsdf

The 3. is shown as one because of the code block.

How can I insert a code block in one of the enumeration steps and let the enumeration counter continue correctly after the counter?

Indent the code block by four additional spaces to show that it's part of the preceding list item:

1. sdsdf
1. sdfsdf

        function foo() {
            // do something
        }

1. sdfsdf

The extra four spaces are required to include the code block in the list item:

To put a code block within a list item, the code block needs to be indented twice - 8 spaces or two tabs:

* A list item with a code block:

        <code goes here>

In this case the intentions of the code block are gone.
@stephan1001, your comment is unclear. What does "the intentions of the code block are gone" mean?
@stephan1001, not at all. Just indent all code lines by an additional four spaces. See my updated answer.
Yes I know but why do I need the additional four spaces?
@stephan1001, so the code block is included in the list item. It's part of the spec. I've updated my answer again.
