Step 1
Bake fries according to package directions. Aim for crispy edges—they should sizzle when removed from oven.
Step 2
While fries cook, heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and soft, ~8 minutes.
Step 3
Push onions to the side. Slice beef cheeks into bite-sized pieces. Add to the skillet with warm stock and smoked paprika.
Step 4
Simmer beef with onions and stock for 4 minutes to warm through and deepen flavor. Meat should look glossy.
Step 5
Toss torn lettuce with vinegar and a pinch of salt in a separate bowl until lightly dressed.
Step 6
Plate fries, top with smoked beef and onions, drizzle remaining chili oil, and serve lettuce slaw alongside.
