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

Spread the sesame seeds out on a plate.

Coat the tuna steaks with the remaining soy sauce mixture, then press into the sesame seeds to coat.

Heat olive oil in a cast iron skillet over high heat until very hot.

Place steaks in the pan, and sear for about 30 seconds on each side.
