Steps:

• For the pot roast: Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 300 degrees F.

Increase the oven temperature to 350 degrees F for the peppers and bread.

• Strain the pot roast jus through a fine-mesh strainer into a bowl and return to the pot. Bring to a simmer and simmer until reduced slightly, 5 to 10 minutes. Adjust the seasoning if necessary. Keep warm.
