I just watched the French Chef with Julia Child and for Beuf Burgenon, she did brown the meat first before the wine and into the oven to cook for something like 4 hours and she says, to leave it alone while in the oven. Hands off in other words. She even shows how to saute mushrooms, clean them and to cut them, and how to do the pearl onions, as in, how to boil them briefly and then peal then, though these days, you can get them frozen in bags in your grocer's freezer case.
Anyway, fun to watch her in her this show doing her thing. I suspect this was the preferred way to do a dish like this even back then, or earlier.
