Clean the portobello mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt. Remove the stems.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, minced garlic, black pepper, and salt to create the marinade.
Place the portobello mushrooms in the marinade, turning them to ensure they are well coated. Let them marinate for 10 minutes.
While the mushrooms are marinating, slice the ciabatta rolls in half horizontally and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard until well combined. Set aside.
Slice the tomato and the red onion thinly. Set aside.
Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the portobello mushrooms and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until tender and caramelized.
Toast the ciabatta rolls on a separate pan or in a toaster until golden brown.
To assemble the sandwiches, spread a layer of the mayonnaise and mustard mixture on the bottom half of each ciabatta roll.
Place a cooked portobello mushroom cap on top of the sauce. Add a handful of arugula leaves, a few slices of tomato, and red onion.
Top with the other half of the ciabatta roll. Serve immediately and enjoy your vegetarian classic steak sandwich.
