Clean the portobello mushroom caps by gently wiping with a damp cloth to remove any dirt. Remove the stems and use a spoon to scrape out the gills, if desired.
In a large shallow dish, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, minced garlic, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the portobello mushroom caps in the marinade, ensuring they are well-coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.
Remove the mushroom caps from the marinade and place them on the grill. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, until tender and grill marks are visible.
While the mushrooms are grilling, slice the ciabatta rolls in half and lightly toast them on the grill for 1-2 minutes until golden.
In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard to make a spread.
Assemble the sandwiches: Spread the mayo-mustard mixture on both halves of the toasted ciabatta rolls. Place a grilled portobello on the bottom half of each roll, followed by a slice of provolone cheese, a handful of arugula, and a few slices of roasted red peppers. Top with the remaining half of the roll.
Serve the sandwiches warm and enjoy your flavorful Vegetarian Grilled Tri-Tip Sandwich!
