Mix the Sesame Crust ingredients together in a small bowl.
Pat dry the ahi tuna with paper towels.
Place ahi tuna on a plate, coat all sides with soy sauce. This will help the sesame spice adhere to the tuna.
Generously sprinkle all sides of the ahi tuna with the sesame mix, pressing it down into the flesh. Coat the sides.
Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, until very very hot. Turn your hood fan on.
Add the oil and coat the pan and let it get hot.
Carefully lay the tuna in the pan, pressing it down into the skillet with a metal spatula.
Sear 45-60 seconds- checking the underneath by lifting one corner to see if it is golden.
When deeply golden, carefully flip. Sear the other side, 60-90 seconds until golden.
Sear the long edges using tongs to hold it upright.
Place on a cutting board, blot if you like, then using a very sharp knife, thinly slice, and serve.
