Place wooden skewers in water to soak for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning during grilling.
Slice the beef sirloin into thin strips, approximately 1-inch wide and 4-5 inches long.
In a large mixing bowl, combine garlic (finely minced), ginger (grated), soy sauce, brown sugar, ground coriander, ground turmeric, ground cumin, and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil. Mix well to create the marinade.
Add the beef strips to the marinade and toss to coat thoroughly. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
While the beef marinates, prepare the peanut sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine coconut milk, peanut butter, fresh lime juice, honey, crushed red chili flakes, and a pinch of salt. Whisk continuously until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Lightly brush with the remaining vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Thread the marinated beef strips onto the soaked wooden skewers, folding the meat if necessary to fit.
Grill the skewers for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the beef is cooked through and slightly charred around the edges.
Serve the beef satay hot, accompanied by the warm peanut sauce for dipping. Garnish with chopped cilantro and lime wedges, if desired.
