* Don't overcrowd the pan. Give the food space to cook evenly.

* Cook the food in batches if necessary. This will prevent the food from steaming instead of sautéing.

* Season the food generously. Sautéed foods are usually seasoned with salt and pepper, but you can also add other spices and herbs.
