Defrost the ahi tuna steaks if frozen and pat them dry.

Prepare a wet plate with sesame oil and soy sauce to use as a binder.

Mix black and tan sesame seeds on a dry plate.

Coat the defrosted tuna steaks in the wet mixture to ensure they are covered.

Press the tuna steaks into the sesame seeds to coat them evenly.

Preheat the Blackstone griddle on maximum heat until hot.

Add a healthy amount of olive oil to the griddle.

Place the coated tuna steaks on the griddle and sear for about 1 minute per side.

Remove the tuna from the griddle and let it rest for a minute before slicing.

Slice the tuna into pieces and serve.
