Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Short Ribs

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and onion, and sauté until translucent.

  2. 2

    Cook the Ribs

    Add the short ribs to the pot, browning them on all sides. Season with salt and black pepper. Once browned, add the diced red bell pepper, tomato sauce, beef broth, paprika, and cumin.

  3. 3

    Simmer the Mixture

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for about 2 hours, or until the ribs are tender.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Baguette

    Once the ribs are done, remove them from the pot and shred the meat from the bones. Discard the bones and return the shredded meat to the pot, stirring to combine with the sauce.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Montaditos

    To serve, place a generous amount of the rib mixture on each slice of baguette. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
