Heat peanut oil on medium-low in 12 inch, non-stick, skillet. Place sesame seeds on plate. Remove tuna from marinade and reserve extra marinade. One at a time, coat tuna pieces in sesame seeds on all sides, pressing the seeds into the fish so they’ll stick. Place the medallions in the heated skillet. Sear about 1 1/2 minutes on each side for medium-rare. While tuna cooks, pour marinade into a small saucepan over high heat and bring to a full boil. Lower heat to medium and add cornstarch, stirring with a whisk. Cook, stirring constantly until sauce thickens, about 3 to 4 minutes. Drizzle sauce over tuna and serve.
