Trim any excess fat from the ribeye steak and pat it dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Season both sides of the steak generously with this spice blend.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, cook the steak for 4-5 minutes on each side for medium-rare or longer if desired. Remove the steak from the heat, tent with foil, and let it rest for at least 10 minutes.
While the steak rests, prepare the spicy aioli by combining the mayonnaise, hot sauce, and chipotle chili powder in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Slice the baguettes lengthwise without cutting all the way through and brush the insides with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
Toast the baguettes in the oven for 5 minutes or until warm and slightly crispy.
Thinly slice the rested steak against the grain for tender pieces. Set aside.
Prepare the vegetables: shred the lettuce, slice the tomato and red onion thinly, and cut the jalapeño into thin rounds.
To assemble the subs, spread a generous layer of the spicy aioli onto the inside of each baguette.
Layer the sliced steak onto the baguette, followed by the shredded pepper jack cheese, lettuce, tomato slices, red onion, and jalapeño rounds.
Serve the Spicy Bistro Steak Subs warm and enjoy the bold, spicy flavors!
