Steps:

Wash and pat dry tuna steaks. Coat steaks with a thin layer of sesame oil. Sprinkle both sides of steaks with the finely ground sea salt,Rub into steaks. Cover both sides comepletly with the toasted sesames. Sear steaks on grill or in a saute pan for several minutes on each side. I prefer the steaks medium rare(1/4 inch on both sides cooked, the interior rare) but the steaks can be cooked to anyone's preference.While the steaks are cooking, prepare the wasabi sauce; Whisk together the wasabi paste, toasted sesame oil, ground ginger and tamari until a thick liqued is formed. When the steaks are done, serve with the wasabi sauce drizzled across the top.
