Instructions

Collect all the necessary ingredients.

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, mirin, and honey.

Pour half of the sauce into a small bowl, mix in rice wine vinegar, and set it aside to use as a dipping sauce.

Place sesame seeds on a plate. Coat the tuna steaks with the remaining soy sauce mixture, then press them into the sesame seeds to fully coat.

Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over high heat until it's very hot. Add the tuna steaks to the pan and sear each side for about 30 seconds.

Serve with the dipping sauce and a side of wasabi paste.
