Pat dry the tuna steaks with a paper towel on all sides.
Combine the red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper, and sprinkle all sides of the tuna with it. Cover the steaks with sesame seeds and press them into the flesh.
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add the oil and heat it up. Place the tuna steaks and sear them for 90 seconds per side, or until the sesame seeds start browning.
