Completely agree with you about browning. I make sure the meat develops a nice crust to add flavor and seal in the juices. When browning meat chunks so many people try to throw it all in at once, which is a big no-no.

The Maillard reaction. Truly browning, not just taking the rawness out, is what counts. Just made a roast picanha with just salt, garlic, olive oil and the flavor was incredibly rich. Primarily from browning in a very hot cast iron skillet on the stovetop. 4-5 minutes per side. Then pop the skillet into a 400 degree oven for 1/2 hour. The flavor is incredible.
