Start by making a marinade for the pork using thyme, 1 red jalapeno, 1 scotch bonnet, onions, garlic, and scallion.

In a bowl, combine allspice, nutmeg, black pepper, and brown sugar.

Add jerk seasoning and Steakhouse old-fashioned sauce to the bowl.

Squeeze half a lime into the mixture for citrus flavor, equivalent to about 2 teaspoons of lime juice.

Blend the marinade until smooth.

Wash and dry the pork, then massage the marinade into the pork pieces.

Add garlic salt to the pork, adjusting the amount based on preference if using regular salt.

Cover the pork and let it marinate overnight or for at least 4 hours.

Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C).

Line a pan with foil for easy cleanup and place the marinated pork in the pan.

Cover the pan with foil and bake for 45 minutes.

After 45 minutes, remove the foil and flip the pork, basting it with the pan juices.

Continue baking, checking every 15-20 minutes, until the pork is tender, which takes about an additional 40 minutes.

Once done, plate the pork for serving.
