 Season steak with salt and pepper. (If you have time, spread steak
 out on a plate, uncovered, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes
 and up to 4 hours.) Cook fries per package directions, season with
 salt and pepper and keep warm.

 Heat a large skillet (preferably cast-iron) or wok over high, add
 2 tb oil and when it starts to smoke, sear the beef in three
 batches, until deeply caramelized, about 1 minute per side.
 Transfer seared steak to a large rimmed plate or sheet pan.

 Add 1 tb oil to the hot skillet; add onion and cook, undisturbed,
 until golden around the edges, about 1 minute, then stir and saute
 until just cooked through but still a bit crisp, 1 to 2 minutes.
 Transfer to plate with steak. Add the remaining 1 tb oil and cook
 the bell pepper the same way; transfer to the plate.

 Turn heat down to low and add tomatoes, garlic, soy sauce, lime
 juice, and chile paste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the
 tomatoes have softened, about 2 minutes. Return the steak, onion,
 and pepper to the skillet, toss gently to combine and turn off heat.

 To serve, transfer the fries to a rimmed serving platter or
 individual plates. Top with the stir-fried beef and vegetables and
 spoon the sauce over. Top with cilantro and more black pepper, if
 desired. Serve with rice.
