More marinated tri tips

Here’s my recipe:

1/2 cup black pepper
1/2 cup granulated garlic powder
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup seasoning salt
1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
1 cup lemon juice (I like fresh squeezed)
1 cup oil (peanut or other)
1 cup water

Add all ingredients to gallon bag, shake to combine well. Add two tri tip roasts, marinate for 8-12 hours (you can go less if worries about too much salt).  Grill to medium. 

I know the amounts sound super crazy, but this is legit awesome. It’s not overpowering. I let the bag sit on the counter the last four hours to come up to room temp before grilling. I make it for work parties, family parties, and pretty much everything. 

Usually I just cook them raised direct at about 450-550. Flipping enough to not get too much char. This time I seared them next to the lump on a small cast iron grid sitting on the woo, temp was irrelevant I had the lid open. Then I put a raised indirect setup I have in and they were close to the dome roasting at about 600 until I hit medium. 

Yes, I circled the one that looks like a tri tip.

Holy MOLY!  Yeah, the amounts sound crazy!  Never heard of a marinade like this in my life, but I might have to try it just to see.  And I gotta say, your picture is gorgeous!

Thanks for the recipe -- definitely saving it!

agreed, it sounds nuts, but it works.  If they are smaller tri tips, I would reduce the amount of time in the marinade.
