In a small bowl add the sesame seeds, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper if using. Mix well until fully combined.
In a frying pan over medium-high heat, add the butter and oil. A cast iron pan works best!

Cook 30 to 40 seconds per side for rare. Do not overcook them! Only cook one tuna fillet at a time.
When the tuna fillet has been cooked, slice the fillet into 1/4 inch slices and serve it with the dipping sauce and a side of sautéed spinach.
Instructions to make the dipping sauce
Place all of the ingredients in a small bowl and whisk it until it fully comes together. Set aside and serve it with the tuna steaks.
