Just started a 24 hr soak for my Tri Tip. It’s takin a bath in a little over a cup of Soy Sauce, 3/4 cup Cabernet(cheapest bottle I could find), heavy handed table spoon of minced Garlic and 2 table spoons of CPB. Gonna let it sit all night. Tomorrow I will get the Lang goin up to 225 for about a 1.5 to 2hr smoke. Before I put the Tri tip on I will pull it out of the marinade and pat it dry. I will apply Oak Ridge BBQ Santa Maria Rub for the seasoning. Highly recommend this stuff. Gonna smoke it until it hits 125 and then transfer it over to the Weber and an open flame for a reverse sear. Target internal after 15 minute rest is 135 This is just a little twist to the flavoring on Tri Tip. Typically I do not combine the two methods meaning usually I go straight from the marinade to the pit without seasoning but Im just trying something different. Hopefully it turns out good. I’ll post some pics during and after the cook tomorrow

Sounds like a darn good plan.
The last TT I smoked a couple of weeks agao, I made the mistake of injecting it with marinade and that ruined the nice beefy flavor inside.
I have never injected a TT before. So I have no idea what possessed me to do that.
Straight overnight marinade from now on.

I agree, generally they are pretty small and they are not on the grill all that long, generally speaking. Thanks for the LIke

I love smoking Tri-tips.
They are such a short smoke. I usually don't do a reverse sear on the gasser either.

Thank you for the like as well.
 
That still looks good. Medium - medium rare. That is still a nicely done piece of meat.
Looks plenty pink still. Good job on it. Likes/points for sure.

Thanks for the point Chris, give this one a try. The only thing I would do different is not accidentally buy regular salt content Soy sauce. Meant to buy Low sodium so it was a touch on the salty side but Im probably being over picky lol. Im my biggest critic.

Looks really good to me!
appreciate the nice words steve.
 
I don't know Doug, you might have to tie me down and force feed me that TT. :D:p
Seriously, it looks mighty fine and delectable.
Thank you for the marinade recipe too. I will try it on the next TT smoke.

I'd love to try it on a TT, but they're scarcer then a woolly mammoth around here.
