sautee
Pan-cook in fat
Sautee is a common misspelling of sauté, the cooking technique of frying food quickly in a small amount of fat over high heat: Sautee the onions until translucent.
The accent mark is often dropped in casual writing, and the extra 'e' reflects how English speakers hear the French pronunciation.
