Should I marinate NY strip steak?

Chef's answer
Short answer: flavor! The main reason to marinate your steaks before grilling is to enhance the flavor of the meat. If you are not looking to enhance the flavor of your meat and prefer it just the way it is then a marinade is not required! Contrary to popular belief, marinating your meat is not a tenderizing method.
