Warm the beef broth in a saucepan over low heat. In a small bowl, steep the saffron threads in 1/4 cup of the warm broth. Set aside.
Finely chop the onion. In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add the Arborio rice to the pot and toast for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the edges of the grains become translucent.
Pour in the white wine and cook, stirring, until it is absorbed by the rice.
Begin adding the warm broth, one ladleful at a time, stirring constantly and allowing each ladleful to be absorbed before adding the next. Continue this process for about 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is creamy and al dente.
Stir in the saffron-infused broth, the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, and the grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese.
