Begin by soaking the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent them from burning during grilling.
Cut the beef sirloin into thin, bite-sized strips, about 2-3 inches long and 1/2 inch thick.
In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, vegetable oil, ground coriander, and red pepper flakes to create the marinade.
Add the beef strips to the marinade, ensuring they are well coated. Cover the bowl and let the beef marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for maximum flavor.
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat and lightly grease the grates with oil to prevent sticking.
Thread the marinated beef strips onto the soaked wooden skewers, weaving the meat onto the skewer so it stays secure.
Grill the skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the beef is cooked to your preferred doneness. Avoid overcooking to ensure the meat stays tender.
Once done, remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a few minutes.
Garnish the skewers with freshly chopped cilantro and serve hot with your favorite dipping sauces, such as peanut sauce or sweet chili sauce.
