Ingredients :
- 1 bag frozen French fries
- 1/2 tsp. sweet paprika
- Kosher salt
- 1 flank steak, cut into 2 pieces against the grain
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 6 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 large shallot, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

- 1 tsp. Dijon mustard
- 8 oz. English cucumber, halved and thinly sliced
- 6 oz. baby arugula
- 1 1/2 cups grape tomatoes, halved

Directions :
- Preheat oven to 425º. On a baking sheet, arrange fries in a single layer.
- Bake fries until golden and crisp, about 25 minutes. Sprinkle with paprika; season with salt and carefully toss to combine.
- Meanwhile, season steak with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. In a large cast-iron or heavy skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Cook steak, flipping halfway through, until browned on both sides and medium-rare, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board; tent with foil. Let rest 10 minutes.

- Add vinegar and cook, scraping browned bits from bottom of pan, until reduced by half, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove skillet from heat and pour vinegar mixture into a medium heatproof bowl. Whisk in lemon juice, mustard, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Whisking constantly, slowly pour in remaining 4 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper.
