For best results, use sushi-grade tuna to ensure safety when served rare. Toasting the sesame seeds lightly before coating the tuna will enhance their flavor and aroma. Be careful not to overcook the tuna, as it can become dry and tough. The key is a quick sear to create a flavorful crust while maintaining a tender, rare interior. Experiment with adding a touch of grated ginger or garlic to the soy miso dressing for extra depth of flavor.

Carefully place the coated tuna steaks in the hot skillet. Sear for approximately 2 minutes per side for medium-rare, adjusting the time based on your desired level of doneness. The inside should remain mostly red, similar to sushi. (Estimated time: 4 minutes)
