1. Pat the ahi tuna steaks dry with a paper towel. Place on a plate or inside a plastic bag.
2. Mix the soy sauce (2 tablespoons), toasted sesame oil (1 tablespoon), honey (1 tablespoon) kosher salt (1/2 teaspoon- OMIT if marinating for more than a couple hours, see notes), pepper (1/4 teaspoon), and cayenne pepper (1/4 teaspoon) until honey is fully dissolved. Pour over the ahi tuna steaks and turn over to coat completely. Optional: allow to marinate for at least 10 minutes, or up to overnight in the refrigerator. Also optional: Reserve a spoonful or two of the marinade before coating the fish for drizzling on top after you've cooked it.
3. Heat a medium skillet (preferably non-stick or a well-seasoned cast iron skillet) on medium-high to high until very hot ( or medium medium-high for nonstick). I recommend giving cast iron 3-5 minutes to get hot and nonstick about 1 minute, depending on how thick it is.
4. Add the canola oil (1 tablespoon) to the hot pan. Sear the tuna for 2 minutes on each side for medium rare (1.5 minutes on each side for rare; 3 on each side for medium). (Note: different burners get hotter depending on your stove. Use your best judgement whether you use medium, medium-high, or high heat, as the marinade may burn if too high heat is used)
5. In a large pot or dutch oven, heat 2 Tablespoons oil over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook 5-7 minutes until translucent or caramelized. Add garlic, sage and paprika and cook 1 minute, stirring to combine.
6. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat until it foams. Stir in garlic; cook until edges just start to turn golden, about 1-2 minutes. Add balsamic vinegar and simmer over medium heat until it bubbles and thickens a bit (about 1-2 minutes)
7. Add 1-2 Tablespoons oil to a skillet and heat over high to smoking. Meanwhile, lay tuna steaks out on countertop or large plate. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper and seasoning mix. Rub in with your hands. Turn the steaks over and repeat on the other side
