18 - 0.25 cup + 1 tbsp very cold salted butter, cut into small cubes

# Steps:

01 - Trim the beef roast of excess fat and cut into 1.5-inch cubes. Season with salt and pepper, then coat in flour.
02 - Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the beef in small batches, avoiding overcrowding.
03 - Transfer browned beef to a covered roasting pan or Dutch oven.
04 - Melt butter in a sauté pan; add onions and garlic. Cook over medium heat until onions are soft but not browned. Add to the beef.
05 - Add beef stock, thyme, nutmeg, salt, pepper, bay leaves, and orange juice to the roasting pan. Stir, cover tightly with aluminum foil, and lid. Braise in a 300°F oven for 2.5 to 3 hours until the beef is tender.
06 - Prepare biscuit dough while the beef roasts. Once beef is tender, remove the cover and place biscuit dough on top of the beef and gravy.
07 - Increase oven temperature to 375°F. Bake until biscuits are golden brown and cooked through.
