Sous Vide Instant Pot Steak Fajitas

1 Out of the depths I cry to you, O LORD! 

2 O Lord, hear my voice! Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my pleas for mercy! 

3 If you, O LORD, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand? 

4 But with you there is forgiveness, that you may be feared. 

5 I wait for the LORD, my soul waits, and in his word I hope;  - Psalm 130:1-5

Who knew? I certainly did not know this. 

I just happened to see a guy on YouTube do it.
