Preheat oven to 400°F.
In a large non-stick skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking. Coat 2 tuna steaks with sesame seeds and sear 1 minute on each side, transferring to a baking sheet. Coat and sear remaining 4 tuna steaks in batches in same manner. Cook tuna in middle of oven 3 minutes for medium-rare.
Cut each tuna steak into 4 slices and arrange slices, cut sides up, on 6 plates. Pour about ¼ cup sauce around tuna on each plate.
