Heat the garlic-infused oil in a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the pork belly slabs skin-side down and sear undisturbed for 4–5 minutes, until the skin is deep golden and releases easily from the pan. Flip and sear the other side for 2–3 minutes, until browned.
