I did an erase on my mac book air and now all i get is a flashing question mark

I erased my MacBook Air but it doesn't give me a choice to reinstall the OS. All I get is a flashing question mark. How do I reinstall the OS if I don't have startup disk?

Was this method from Apple Used ? Use Disk Utility to erase an Intel-based Mac

Then this would be used. How to reinstall macOS

Follow these guidelines during installation:

If the installer asks to unlock your disk, enter the password you use to log in to your Mac.
If the installer doesn't see your disk, or it says that it can't install on your computer or volume, you might need to erase your disk first.
If the installer offers you the choice between installing on Macintosh HD or Macintosh HD - Data, choose Macintosh HD.
