Begin by cleaning the portobello mushroom caps by gently wiping them with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, minced garlic, rosemary, thyme, sea salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
Place the mushroom caps in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, ensuring they are thoroughly coated. Let them marinate for at least 15 minutes, flipping them occasionally to absorb the flavors evenly.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. If using a charcoal grill, prepare a two-zone fire by piling coals on one side to create direct and indirect heat zones.
Once the grill is hot, lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
Place the marinated mushroom caps on the grill over direct heat, gill side down. Grill for 4-5 minutes on each side until they are tender and have nice grill marks.
Remove the mushroom caps from the grill and let them rest for a couple of minutes.
Serve the grilled portobello mushrooms as you would a steak, with your choice of side dishes like mashed potatoes, grilled vegetables, or a fresh salad. Enjoy your vegetarian T-bone steak!
