In a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, minced garlic, grated ginger, lime juice, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the tuna steaks in a shallow dish or sealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over them. Ensure each piece is coated thoroughly. Cover the dish or seal the bag and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
Remove the tuna steaks from the marinade, allowing excess liquid to drip off, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Reserve the leftover marinade.
Bake the tuna steaks in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until they are cooked to your desired level of doneness (pink in the center for medium-rare).
While the tuna is cooking, pour the reserved marinade into a small saucepan and bring it to a boil. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to create a glaze.
Remove the tuna from the oven and brush it with the glaze. Sprinkle sesame seeds on top for added flavor and texture.
Garnish with thinly sliced green onions before serving. Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes, such as steamed rice or sautΓ©ed vegetables.
