- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss sliced portobellos with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, garlic powder, and black pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 20 minutes.
- While mushrooms roast, melt butter in a skillet and sauté onions over medium heat until caramelized, about 15 minutes.
- In a small saucepan, combine vegetable broth, soy sauce, thyme, and onion powder. Simmer for 5–10 minutes to create the au jus. Season to taste and keep warm.
- To make the horseradish aioli, whisk together mayonnaise, horseradish, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Set aside.
- Slice rolls and lightly toast if desired. Spread horseradish aioli on each side.
- Layer roasted mushrooms, caramelized onions, and provolone on the rolls. Place under a broiler for 2–3 minutes to melt the cheese.
- Serve warm with a small bowl of au jus for dipping.
Notes
- You can prepare the mushrooms and onions in advance and reheat for quick assembly.
- For extra flavor, add a splash of red wine to the au jus.
- Use vegan mayo and cheese to make the sandwich fully vegan.
