1. Pat the Ahi tuna steaks dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and black pepper on all sides.
2. Lightly coat the seasoned tuna with sesame seeds, pressing gently to adhere them to the fish.
3. Heat olive oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet or cast-iron pan over high heat until it just begins to smoke.
4. Carefully place the tuna steaks in the hot pan and sear for 1-1.5 minutes per side for rare to medium-rare, depending on thickness.
5. Remove the tuna from the pan, let it rest for a minute, then slice it into thin pieces against the grain.
6. Serve immediately with a side of soy sauce for dipping.
