haven't thought about doing the beurre blanc first, is that just to make it go a bit quicker, or is there another reason for it?
Whenever I make a pan sauce I always deglaze with some kind of alcohol, grabs all that flavor and tid-bits left over by the meat.

I was beat into certain habits in a kitchen, things that chefs were merciless about forcing me to do against my own habits. One of those were season the flour not the meat. Don't know what it does different, I just do it.

Quickness, beurre blanc was used for alot of things, just mixed to order with other ingredients to speed up the process of cooking.
