Grilled Tri-tip!

The last couple days I took a break from the Mini-WSM and have been using the gas grill that I have been neglecting the last year or so! I bought another bulk pack of tri-tip from our local wholesaler and one of the tips was small so I felt it would be great grilled. We also had a head of cauliflower that I needed to use up so I threw that into a foil pan with some smokerd serrano salt, cumin, pepper EVOO. We reheated a couple twice baked hatch chile taters too.

Enhanced.

Enjoy!!!
