My website URL structure is:
www.website.com/{record-type}/{record-id}/{human-readable-name}

If an invalid human readable name is provided, the page 301 redirects to the correct URL.

I've noticed recently that Google has started indexing partial URLs, i.e:
www.website.com/{record-type}/{record-id}/

If I make requests to those indexed URLs, I am 301 redirected to the correct page.

Is there a way to force Google to use the 301 redirected URL?

The 301 redirect should be doing this already. You should verify that the 301 redirect is being sent out especially to googlebot.

Another way to do this is to use canonical URLs to tell Google which URL they should display in their search results.
