Once compiled to TEAL, you can deploy a tealish smart contract the same way you would deployed a PyTEAL smart contract compiled to TEAL.
There is a detailed document there: [Interact with smart contracts - Algorand Developer Portal](https://developer.algorand.org/docs/get-details/dapps/smart-contracts/frontend/apps/)
You can also see the example [Build with Python - Algorand Developer Portal](https://developer.algorand.org/docs/get-started/dapps/pyteal/#deploy-and-communicate-with-the-smart-contract) where `getContracts` is defined [there](https://github.com/algorand/auction-demo/blob/main/auction/operations.py#L22), which in turns use `fullyCompileContract` defined [there](https://github.com/algorand/auction-demo/blob/407db6a5c0f90a47680c2fca5aaed26dc4592e8d/auction/util.py#L56).
You would need to change `fullyCompileContract` to take directly the teal source code instead of `contract: Expr` and skip the `compileTeal` part.
