- Take the tuna out of the fridge 15 minutes ahead. Fridge-cold tuna cooks through before the outside has colored, which defeats the point.
- Toast the sesame seeds in a dry pan until they smell nutty, about 90 seconds, and tip them out before they burn.
- Blanch the beans in salted boiling water for 3 minutes, then drain them well.
- Get the pan very hot. Rub the tuna with half the sesame oil, season it, and sear 60–90 seconds a side — no longer. The center should stay ruby.
- Rest the tuna on a board while you toss the beans in the pan with the tamari and the rest of the sesame oil.
- Slice the tuna thickly against the grain, pile the beans alongside and scatter the toasted seeds over both.
