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")
