Season the tuna steaks on both sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat the sesame oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the tuna steaks for about 1-2 minutes per side, ensuring the outside is browned while the center remains rare. Transfer the tuna to a plate and let it rest.
In a small bowl, whisk together the chopped green onions, soy sauce, rice vinegar, wasabi paste, honey, grated ginger, and minced garlic until well combined. This will be the green onion wasabi sauce.
Slice the seared tuna into thin strips and arrange them on a serving plate.
Drizzle the green onion wasabi sauce over the tuna slices or serve it on the side as a dipping sauce.
Garnish with additional chopped green onions if desired and serve immediately.
