Instructions

In a blender or food processor, combine soy sauce, olive oil, brown sugar, garlic, thyme, allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, scallions, peppers, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Blend until a smooth marinade forms.
Place the pork slices in a large bowl or resealable bag. Pour the marinade over the pork, ensuring all pieces are coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight for best flavor.
Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove pork from the marinade and grill for about 6-8 minutes per side or until cooked through, basting with any remaining marinade.
Once cooked, remove pork from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the Jamaican Jerk Pork with rice and peas, fried plantains, and a side of fresh salad for a complete meal.
Enjoy!
