Low Effort. Big Flavor. Street-Style Jamaican Jerk Pork

If you’ve ever had jerk pork from a street vendor in Jamaica, you know the vibe — rich flavor, juicy meat, and that deep smoky heat. This street-style jerk pork recipe brings all of that home, no grill needed.

We’re using pork leg steaks, but you can use any fatty or tough cut like pig’s head or pork shoulder. The key is in the authentic Jamaican jerk marinade — fresh herbs, pimento, scotch bonnet, citrus, and a splash of Red Stripe for that real yard-style flavor.

It’s a low-effort, high-flavor way to make jerk pork that simmers in a pot like a roast, using traditional seasonings with a twist. I’ll walk you through how to build flavor from the marinade all the way to the final garnish — and even break down how vendors adjust the spice level on the spot.

🔥 Perfect for weeknight dinners or a weekend street food-style feast.
