    Preparation:

    1. Marinate the Steak: In a bowl, combine the olive oil, smoked paprika, cumin, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the skirt steak and toss to coat evenly. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours.
    2. Grill the Steak: Preheat your grill to high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and grill for 4-5 minutes per side, or until desired level of doneness. Let the steak rest for 5 minutes before slicing thinly against the grain.
    3. Assemble the Sandwich: Spread a generous amount of mayonnaise and harissa sauce on each ciabatta roll. Top with sliced steak, crumbled feta cheese, chopped cilantro, and thinly sliced red onion.

    Total Time: Approximately 45 minutes

    Serving Ideas:

    Elevated Bistro Style: Serve the sandwich on a rustic wooden board, paired with a side of truffle fries and a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon.
