Instructions
- Pat the ribeye dry, season generously with salt and black pepper, and let it sit at room temperature while you prep the vegetables; slice the Walla Walla onion and bell pepper, chop the tomato, mince the garlic, chop the parsley, and cut the potatoes into even pieces.
- Put the potatoes in a saucepan, cover with cold salted water, bring to a boil, and cook until just tender, 10 to 12 minutes; drain well and let them steam-dry for a few minutes.
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the potatoes cut-side down, and cook 6 to 8 minutes until browned and crisp in spots; season with salt, pepper, and half the smoked paprika, then transfer to a plate and keep warm.
- In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add the onion and bell pepper; cook 5 to 6 minutes until softened, then stir in the garlic, remaining smoked paprika, and optional red pepper flakes for 30 seconds.
- Add the chopped tomato and a pinch of salt, cook 5 to 7 minutes until saucy but still bright, then stir in the red wine vinegar and half the parsley; scrape the piperade into a bowl and wipe the skillet mostly clean.
- Heat the skillet over medium-high until very hot, add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, and sear the ribeye 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until it reaches 130°F in the thickest part; cook a minute or two longer if you prefer medium.
- Transfer the steak to a cutting board and rest 5 minutes, then slice against the grain and spoon any resting juices into the tomato-pepper piperade.
- Plate the crispy potatoes and sliced ribeye with the warm tomato piperade spooned alongside or over the steak, then finish with the remaining parsley.
