Soak the wooden skewers in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during cooking.
Thinly slice the beef against the grain into strips roughly 1 cm wide.
In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, sesame oil, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, ground coriander, ground cumin, ground turmeric, chili powder, powdered ginger, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the beef strips to the marinade, ensuring all pieces are thoroughly coated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or preferably overnight for more intense flavor.
Preheat a grill or broiler to medium-high heat.
Thread the marinated beef strips onto the soaked skewers, folding if necessary to ensure even cooking.
Place the skewers on the preheated grill or under the broiler, cooking for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the beef is cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, gently heat the coconut milk over medium heat to use as a dipping sauce.
Remove the skewers from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Serve the beef satay with warm coconut milk as a nut-free, flavorful dipping sauce.
