Cook the beef strips.

Cut the ciabatta in half and place it in the air fryer at 356°F for 3–4 minutes, until slightly crispy.
Prepare the vegetables.
Wash the arugula, slice the tomatoes, and have the Parmesan flakes ready.
Assemble the sandwiches.
Add the hot beef strips, a teaspoon of their sauce, then arugula, tomatoes, and finally Parmesan.
Close and serve.
Eat them immediately, while they are still hot and fragrant.Ps: If you want to make them even fresher and creamier, add a yogurt sauce: it goes perfectly!
