I argue that if a person refers to marinated meat, as pre-marinated, the use of pre- is not necessary am I correct or incorrect?

You can marinate leftovers, if you want to make something else or of them. So I think it's more a matter of emphasis than redundancy.– Dan BronMar 14, 2016 at 18:41

Simply saying marinated is alway correct. Adding "pre-" may help define context in some situations. Here are some examples that sound more clear one way or the other:
I bought meat for the BBQ tonight that was pre-marinated.
I maninated the meat this morning.
I maninated the meat for four hours. (Note that pre-marinated would not work in this example.)
