Sauté was a method of cooking food in a thin pan with high heat.
In 2369, Commander Benjamin Sisko and Lieutenant Jadzia Dax had dinner together in Quark's. Dax's choice of food was steamed azna. She told Sisko that he should consider having steamed anza to eat, as she believed it would add years onto his life. Sisko replied that he didn't want to add years onto his life if he could only eat steamed azna. He told Dax he might consider eating it if it was sautéed, rolloped, or fricasseed. (DS9: "A Man Alone")
In 2371, Commander Sisko prepared a meal for the senior staff of Deep Space 9 in his quarters that included sautéed beets. (DS9: "Equilibrium")
Later that year, during The Doctor's delusion on the USS Voyager's holodeck, a hologram of Neelix knocked out a Kazon with his sauté pan. (VOY: "Projections")
