Heat the garlic-infused olive oil in a 6-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the brisket fat-side down and sear undisturbed for 5–6 minutes, until deeply browned and the meat releases easily from the pot. Flip and sear the second side for 4–5 minutes until browned. Transfer the brisket to a plate.
