Preheat a cast iron skillet (or non-stick skillet) on medium high heat.
Pat dry the tuna steaks with a paper towel.
Rub one side of the steaks lightly with a few drops of olive or avocado oil. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, half of the herbes de Provence and sesame seeds.
Flip the steaks over and repeat the seasoning. Press gently to make sure the herbs and seeds adhere to the steak.
Once the skillet is properly heated (it should be very hot), turn on your kitchen fan on high. Pour in the rest of the oil and immediately add the tuna.
Cook one minute, then flip and sear the other side for one minute. Ahi tuna is best served very rare, so be careful not to overcook.
Once both sides are evenly browned, place on a cutting board. Using a very sharp knife, thinly slice, and serve.
