Step 1
Heat 1 tbsp butter in a heavy pot over medium-high heat until foaming.
Step 2
Sear beef in batches without stirring until deep brown on all sides, ~8 minutes total. Transfer to a plate.
Step 3
Add onion to the pot and sauté until softened, ~4 minutes. Stir in garlic; cook until fragrant, ~30 seconds.
Step 4
Pour in Barolo, scraping up any browned bits. Return beef to the pot. Simmer covered for 30 minutes until beef is tender.
Step 5
Warm broth in a separate pot. Stir rice into the beef mixture and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes.
Step 6
Add broth one ladle at a time, stirring frequently. Wait until liquid is mostly absorbed before adding more.
Step 7
After 18 minutes, rice should be creamy but still have a slight bite. Stir in remaining 2 tbsp butter and parmesan.
Step 8
Season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately in shallow bowls.
