Check with a meat thermometer for desired doneness:

7
Remove from grill. Let rest. Start with small end of roast and carve into thin slices about ¼ inch thick. Tri-Tip must be carved cross grain of roast and should look like a honey comb. Depending on size a roast should feed 8-10 people. Serve and Enjoy! Delicious!

Put sliced potatoes in Dutch Oven layered with salt and pepper. Check occasionally and stir.

If the potatoes become dry add 7up. Remember to pour into center of Dutch Oven and not on the side so that Dutch Oven will not crack. Continue cooking until potatoes are tender.
