Sauté

To cook food in fat (such as butter or oil) until brown on all sides, using a skillet or a saucepan. When chopped items are cooked, the pan is left uncovered and the mixture inside is stirred until brown on all sides. When larger pieces, like chops or Chicken , are sautéed, they are cooked uncovered until brown on both sides. Then the heat is lowered, the pan is sometimes covered, and the meat is cooked to the desired doneness.
