Tri-Tip with Grilled Tomato salsa is a festive and delicious dish for any gathering. The tri-tip is rubbed, grilled, and then topped with easy tomato salsa. with the same ingredients as pico de gallo, except they are grilled.

Prepare the tri-tip rub ahead of time, so you can let the tri-tip marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before grilling. This will give you the best flavor.

The tri-tip is first cold smoked on the indirect side of the grill, then seared and allowed to finish cooking on the hot side of the grill.
