Preparation
Step 1
FOR THE STEAK
Heat oil in a thick-bottomed pan over medium-high. Cut each steak in half width-wise so that you end up with 8, small, thick steaks. Season the steaks with salt and pepper.
Lay the steaks in the pan two at a time, leaving space between them. Cook the steaks, not moving them, until well seared, about 4 minutes. Flip the steaks and cook until well seared on the other side, about 3 more minutes. Remove the steaks to a clean plate and tent with foil. Drain away excess drippings from the pan (you can reserve these for an additional sauce if you like) and repeat process until all 8 steaks are cooked.
FOR THE EPOISSES SAUCE
Heat the cream in a double boiler until steaming. Add the crumbled bouillon and stir to incorporate. When the bouillon has dissolved, add the Epoisses and cook, stirring constantly, until the cheese has completely melted. Add ground black pepper to the sauce to taste.
Serve the steak with a side of lightly seasoned vegetables and top lavishly with Epoisses sauce.
