Slow-Grilled Jamaican Jerk Pork Roast
Jerk refers to a unique spice mixture combined with slow cooking in a covered pit. We’re taking an easy route using the backyard grill with World Harbors authentic jerk marinade, and pork - the meat most commonly used for jerk in Jamaica.
Ingredients
1 bottle (16 fl. oz.) WORLD HARBORS Jamaican-Style Jerk Marinade & Sauce
1 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
1-3/4 to 2 lb. boneless pork rib end roast*
Cayenne pepper
Directions
Pour half the bottle of jerk marinade into a deep, non-metallic container or sealable gallon freezer bag; add lime juice. Pierce pork roast all over with a fork. Add to container, along with remaining marinade. Cover and refrigerate 24 hours, turning meat at least once.
Preheat grill to medium; adjust coals or burners for indirect cooking. Remove pork, reserving marinade. Grill pork over medium-low* indirect heat 30 minutes, covered. Turn and spoon a bit of marinade over the top. Grill 20-30 minutes more or until internal temperature is 150°F.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan bring reserved marinade to a boil; boil 1 full minute. Taste, and add a sprinkle of cayenne pepper if desired. Cover until ready to serve.
Remove roast from grill and cover with foil; let rest 10 minutes before slicing. Warm up marinade and serve with roast, and with lime wedges if desired.
Makes 6 servings.
* Notes:
-
This boneless pork roast is also called “rib eye.” It is slightly more marbled than center cut.
-
Pork may be marinated for up to 48 hours.
-
If your grill has a temperature gauge, keep it between 300-350ºF. If using charcoal, coals might need to be replenished during grilling time.
