Pat dry the tuna steaks and brush one tablespoon of canola oil on both sides. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper. Dredge tuna on all sides in wasabi peas to coat. Heat a medium cast iron skillet on high heat. Sear tuna for 3 minutes on first side and 2 minutes on second side until nicely seared on the outside and rare on the inside. Make sure to sear the sides as well. Take out of skillet and let rest on cutting board for 5 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain and serve with dipping sauce and wasabi paste.
