Jerk is a style of cooking from Jamaica in which meat is rubbed with a dry marinade or soaked in a juicy one called Jamaican Jerk.

Jerk seasoning is traditionally used on pork and chicken. Modern recipes also use the seasoning on fish, shrimp, shellfish, beef, lamb, and even tofu. This flavorful seasoning is a blend primarily of allspice and Habanero (Scotch Bonnet) peppers. Other ingredients include cloves, cinnamon, onion, nutmeg, thyme, garlic, and salt.
