Pat the ahi tuna steak completely dry with paper towels to ensure a proper sear.
In a shallow dish, combine the sesame seeds, sea salt, and black pepper. Press the tuna steak firmly into the mixture on all sides until evenly coated.
In a small bowl, whisk together the avocado oil mayonnaise, wasabi paste, and tamari until smooth; set aside.
In a separate bowl, toss the sliced cucumber and radishes with the rice vinegar for a quick, bright side salad.
Heat the avocado oil in a cast-iron skillet or non-stick pan over medium-high heat until just beginning to shimmer.
Place the tuna in the hot pan and sear for 1 to 2 minutes per side for a rare center, or until the sesame seeds are golden brown.
Transfer the tuna to a cutting board and let it rest for 2 minutes before slicing into 1/2-inch thick pieces.
Arrange the sliced tuna on a plate alongside the cucumber salad and drizzle or serve with the wasabi mayo.
