Say we have three ogres, and want to put them to sleep as a handful of level 7 casters with the sleep spell. We want to know how many of them, on average, will get put to sleep.
I tried to make an AnyDice function that searches a listing of all of the results of 11d8 for the HP totals that would put to sleep one of the ogres (using the average of 59 HP). Is this AnyDice function accurate to the goal?
output [count 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88 in 3d(11d8)]
If not, how would I properly create the function?

The function is correct but can be made simpler
The function makes sense from a theoretical point of view (you are counting the number of times one of the listed numbers appears when doing 11d8 three times) and from practical corroboration from Xirema's answer.
However, it seems to be a particularly taxing function for anydice. Indeed, when changing it to 4 times instead of 3, anydice refused to provide results because it exceeded the maximum execution time.
A simpler and faster way to do the same function would be this anydice function:
output 3d(11d8 > 58)
Which is equivalent, also helps show that your initial thoughts were correct but is much faster and you can also use it for bigger values without anydice complaining.
Naturally this is not as versatile as your specific listing of each possible result but since you only care about results bigger than the creature's HP in this case it may work better.

This function appears to be correct
The output of the function in Anydice is
beginarray
hline
textNumber & textProbability \ hline
0 & 68.19% \ hline
1 & 27.85% \ hline
2 & 3.79% \ hline
3 & 0.17% \ hline
endarray
Using an independent method, I was able to calculate [within an acceptable Margin of Error] identical odds:
beginarrayl
hline
textNumber & textTrials & textProbability \ hline
0 & 432224441369339628206761607168 (4.322 * 10^29) & 68.1930% \ hline
1 & 176489190284293025714047057920 (1.765 * 10^29) & 27.8415% \ hline
2 & 24021805421679657469725081600 (2.402 * 10^28) & 3.7900% \ hline
3 & 1089863038802389357817856000 (1.090 * 10^27) & 0.1720% \ hline
endarray
So because these two methods appear to have identical outcomes, I'm led to conclude that the function you've provided is correct.
