Our Instant Pot Jerk Pork Roast recipe is a firework of tastes. The taste of good pork shoulder is enriched with a mosaic combination of spices.
This recipe calls for garlic and onion powder, which are known for their high content of antioxidants and sulfur-containing compounds.
Research shows that sulfur-containing compounds help support the synthesis of the body’s natural detox enzymes in the liver to flush chemicals out of your system (1).
Sulfur-containing compounds have also been shown to help fight cancer and inhibit the growth of cancerous cells (2).
Cayenne pepper boasts an impressive nutrition profile, which includes a variety of antioxidants that are beneficial for your health.
Cayenne pepper also contains the active ingredient capsaicin, which has thermogenic properties that help “heat up” your metabolism so that you burn more calories (3).
Dried thyme and parsley provide good sources of vitamin C, vitamin A, iron, manganese, copper, and dietary fiber while ground allspice, nutmeg, cinnamon and cumin all have aromatic, aphrodisiac, and curative properties.
You’ll also need a high-quality beef stock for this recipe. You can use beef bone broth, which is a good source of collagen to support gut, joint, hair, and nail health.
Be sure your bone broth comes from clean, organic and grass-fed sources of bovine to reduce exposure to chemicals, antibiotics, and hormones. Check our best keto bone broth review for more details.
You’ll also want to make sure your pork shoulder is from organic, pasture-raised meat for the same reasons. You can also buy meat online, as long as you choose the right butcher.
For this recipe, we recommend using an instant pot 3-quart duo mini 7-in-1 to save time and effort.
