Step 1
Whisk together ketchup, molasses, Worcestershire, and vinegar in a small bowl until smooth.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Lay brisket slices in the skillet in a single layer without crowding. Sear 2 minutes until edges caramelize.
Step 4
Flip slices carefully. Sear another 90 seconds until the second side is golden brown.
Step 5
Pour the glaze over the brisket and toss gently to coat. Cook 1 minute until sauce thickens and clings.
Step 6
Transfer to a plate. Serve immediately with sauce spooned over the top.
