Clean the portobello mushrooms and remove the stems.

Brush the mushrooms to remove any dirt or grit.

Place the mushrooms smooth side up in a large shallow dish.

Mince 2 to 3 cloves of garlic.

Pour 1/4 cup of balsamic vinegar into a measuring cup and add the minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of dried basil, 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, and salt and black pepper to taste.

Stir the mixture well and pour it over the mushrooms.

Turn the mushrooms to coat them and let them stand for about 15 minutes, turning once more.

While the mushrooms are marinating, heat a gas grill to medium-high and brush the grill grates with a little vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

Place the mushrooms on the grill and reserve the marinade for basting.

Grill the portobellos for 5 to 8 minutes on each side or until they're tender, brushing with the reserved marinade.

Top each mushroom with a slice of provolone cheese during the last 2 minutes of grilling.

Serve the mushrooms as is or on buns with some lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and your favorite sauce.
