[Braising below broiler]

In mc, traditional braising is suggested by slow cooking first and browning the meat through the pot lid under the broiler. If the meat is slow cooked on the stove first, doesn't that prevent the maillard reaction from taking place under the broiler at the end since the meat is effectively done?

Thanks
