Preheat a grill or grill pan until hot. Place ground coriander and anise seeds in a medium bowl. Add garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper, and 1/4 cup olive oil. Season marinade with salt, and stir until combined. Add sirloin cubes, and stir to coat.
In a medium bowl, combine mushrooms, onions, and remaining 1/4 cup olive oil. Season with salt and pepper; toss to coat.
Divide steak among four skewers; thread, leaving 1/2 inch between each cube. Divide vegetables among another four skewers; thread.
