Step 1
Pat brisket dry with paper towels. Season all sides generously with salt and pepper.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large cast iron skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Sear brisket 5 minutes per side without moving—until deep brown crust forms on each side.
Step 4
Transfer to a 325°F oven. Roast uncovered 30–35 minutes until a meat thermometer reads 160°F.
Step 5
Remove from oven and rest 10 minutes. Slice against the grain into 1/4-inch pieces.
Step 6
Arrange sliced brisket on a plate. Top with pickles and raw onion rings. Serve at once.
