2013 Mac Pro Trash Can

I have a 2013 Mac Pro 3.5 Ghz and I was booting from a external drive. Something went wrong and I erased the SSD drive. I was running OS Monterey, but I can't re-install Monterey. I keep getting a firmware update is needed. I don't have the original OEM hard drive that came with it.

What can I do to get the Monterey installed again?

What is best way to do a clean restore of the Monterey OS? In order to do a clean wipe of the OS and other files on the HD in a MacBook Air Silicon with Monterey OS, then restore a new copy of Monterey to the computer, what do you recommend? I have done this from a bootable usb 3 flash drive on Windows. Long process but okay. The GB's space needed on the flash drive is ever growing. How about the latest 2022, Macbook Air? Will a 32 GB flash drive do it? Or, getting Monterey off wifi internet a better option? Or, is there some other option I should know about and use? Thanks.

Clean Install macOS Ventura I have a little OCD, so on previous Macs, would format the SSD before reinstalling the latest version of macOS. I’ve just purchased a 16 inch MacBook Pro M1 Pro. It was pre-installed with macOS Monterey. I upgraded to Ventura then formatted the SSD, but when choosing to reinstall macOS, it reverts to downloading Monterey. Is there any way to clean install macOS and retain Ventura? Thanks in advance.
