Prepare the Tuna
Trim the tuna of any skin and sinew. Lightly season with salt and pepper.

Sear the Tuna
In a skillet over medium-high heat, heat the sesame oil until shimmering. Sear the tuna on all sides for about 30 seconds each, just until the outside is brown but the inside remains rare.

Chill the Tuna
Remove the tuna from the skillet and place it in the refrigerator to cool for about 10 minutes.

Prepare the Ponzu Sauce
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, yuzu juice (or lemon juice), and mirin.

Slice and Serve
Once the tuna is chilled, slice it thinly against the grain. Arrange the slices on a plate, drizzle with ponzu sauce, and garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
