You can say:

grep "some string" somefile | tee file1 | tee file2

This would redirect the result of grep to file1 and file2 and also display that on screen.

To avoid the results being displayed on the screen, you could say:

grep "some string" somefile | tee file1 > file2

You can also do it with awk

awk '/some string/ {print | "tee file1"}' >file2 somefile
