Directions:
In a small bowl, stir together the soy sauce, dill, mirin, honey and sesame oil. Divide into two equal parts. 

Stir the rice vinegar into one part and set aside as a dipping sauce.

Spread the sesame seeds out on a plate. 

Coat the tuna steaks with the remaining soy sauce mixture, then press gently into the sesame seeds until the tuna is nicely encrusted. Let the steaks marinade at room temperature for about 30 minutes.

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. 

Serve with the dipping sauce and wasabi paste.
