Step 1
Pat brisket slices dry with paper towels. Season both sides generously with salt and black pepper.
Step 2
Heat 1 tbsp neutral oil in a 12-inch cast iron skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 60 seconds.
Step 3
Sear brisket slices 90 seconds per side without moving. They should develop a dark brown crust.
Step 4
Whisk ketchup, molasses, mustard, Worcestershire, and paprika in a small bowl until smooth.
Step 5
Pour glaze over brisket and turn slices to coat. Toss for 1 minute until edges look caramelized and sticky.
Step 6
Serve immediately while hot, spooning any pan glaze over the top.
