Photo: 6 Hour Tri-tip Marinade Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 cup lemon juice
- 1 cup soybean oil
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup black pepper
- 1/2 cup garlic salt (recommended: Lawry's)
- 1/2 cup chopped garlic
- 1/2 cup chopped dried onions
- 2 (4-pound) tri-tips, trimmed
Directions
To make the marinade, mix all of the ingredients except for the beef in a large mixing bowl. Place the trimmed tri-tips in a plastic container and pour the marinade over. Let stand in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours.
Heat grill to medium temperature.
Place tri-tips on grill at a 45 degree angle to establish grill marks and cook about 35 minutes, or until cooked to desired doneness. Remove the tri-tips from the grill and let rest about 2 to 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite side dishes.

I made this for a flank steak, because us folks in the midwest have never heard of Tri-tip ; I made this for my freezer cooking co-op and I think they are going to be as excited about this new recipe as I am. Wonderful flavor. I was scared of the amount of pepper, but even though I can taste it, all of the flavors come through like fireworks. Can't wait to eat it absorbed by the meat. I made an extra batch to smother on any kind of meat I can find. 1 batch made 3 meals for a family of 5. A great one to pass on to a friend. Stock up on your seasonings when you are at Sam's!

One of the best tri tips I've ever made (or have had anywhere! I didn't have enough lemon juice, so sub'd about half apple cider vinegar. I was making one 2 1/2 lb. cut, and found that 1/4 of the recipe was plenty using a zip-lock bag with air removed. I didn't have 6 hrs. to marinade, so left for 3 1/2 hrs. at room temp. Did cut proportion of sugar just a bit based on others' suggestions. I will use this marinade every time I make tri tip from now on - perfect!!

Used this marinade for a barbecue yesterday and the tri tip came out fantastic! I used this recipe on 2 tri tip roast together weighing in at 5.5 pounds. I did have some modifications as I didn't have some of the ingredients. I used Olive Oil instead of Canola oil, I used a quarter cup of finely chopped red onion instead of the onion salt, and I didn't have any lemon pepper and the tri tip still came out awesome. THIS IS A KEEPER.
