Clean the portobello mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove the stems. Slice them thinly.
Cut the bell pepper into thin strips, removing the seeds and stem.
Slice the onion thinly.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes or until they start to soften.
Add the sliced bell pepper and onion to the skillet with the mushrooms.
Pour the soy sauce over the vegetables, then sprinkle with garlic powder and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Continue to cook the vegetables for another 7-10 minutes or until the onions are caramelized and the peppers are tender.
Preheat the oven to broil on low.
Split the hoagie rolls lengthwise and lightly toast them under the broiler, about 1-2 minutes, until slightly golden.
Spread a tablespoon of mayonnaise on each hoagie roll.
Arrange the mushroom and pepper mixture on the hoagie rolls.
Place two slices of provolone cheese over the vegetables on each sandwich.
