While the steak marinates, make the avocado crema. Combine the avocados, sour cream, 3 tbsp lime juice, cilantro leaves, and salt in a blender or food processor and blend until completely smooth. Taste and adjust salt if needed, then transfer to a bowl and press plastic wrap directly onto the surface to prevent browning.
