Marinating the Tuna
In a shallow dish, whisk together the sesame oil and soy sauce. Place the tuna steaks in the dish and turn to coat them evenly. Cover and let marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Preparing the Tuna
After marinating, remove the tuna steaks from the refrigerator. Pat them dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper. Sprinkle the sesame seeds evenly on both sides of the tuna steaks, pressing them gently to adhere.
