Normally I treat them like ribeyes, I get my grill or cast iron skillet (if done inside) blazing hot, and do nothing more than salt them and sear them. Although I normally add a bit of fat either by cooking it in a touch of oil or finishing it off with some butter since NY Strip is pretty lean. It doesn't have that wonderful fatty goodness that is normally found with the ribeyes.

Figured I would ask here for some new ideas, marinades rubs or whatever.

What do you guys like doing with strips?
 
I like them marinaded in Stubbs overnite n grilled over red hot KBB n few wood chunks on the Ole Weber Kettle
 
We did the "easy" marinade (good ol' bottle of italian dressing) then cut em up and made kabobs. usually, (pretty much always) we eat as steaks, but I would guess the options are only limited to your imagination.
 
Cold smoke for an hour or two, dust with some Cajun seasoning then high heat them to between rare and mid rare. Delicious.
 
I only buy NYS when they are on sale. I usually buy thin ones and make fajitas with them.

Top it with a nice sauce to bring some fat/moisture to the party.
 
What I ended up doing is my fuddrucker rip off rub.

Pap
brown sugar
salt
black pepper
garlic powder
onion powder
red pepper powder

I seared them in a cask iron skillet for 3 minutes each side then into the oven until done. I was debating grilling but grilling today just wasn't going to happen.

Now I have a few ideas for next time around!
Normally I'm a big ribeye person but for the money I can get 4 NY Strip steaks for $25 and that's good for 2 week night dinners. Ribeyes tend to be in the $30-40 range for 4 and for me I enjoy them more on the weekend.

He LOVES steak. I do his steak to Medium.
 
As an experiment one time I did a very low temp smoke of Pecan and just Kosher and black pepper for about 45 min. then into a vac bag then into a 130* hot water bath for about 2 hrs. Took them out and let them rest for awhile while the Kamado got really hot. (+/- 500)
Rubbed the steaks with evoo, Kosher, minced garlic and black pepper then seared hot and fast. I did not take pictures but they were perfectly done on the inside, very tender and had a great texture. I am not sure if the time spent was worth it or not but when I have some time to kill in the kitchen I will do this again. The water bath was just in a large pot on the gas stove set to the lowest setting and it was perfect for my set up.
 
Bobby Flay steak rub. Has some nice coffee notes.

Like you, I cook in a cast iron pan and finish by adding butter and a sprig or two of rosemary to the pan and baste the steak.
 
I usually catch some grief when I bump this one.. but dont knock it till you try it. Steak pizzaiola. Its a favorite winter dish with my family.

Looks like a great midweek meal. Lots of protein, a sauce, and a side of pasta, sounds like a winner to me.

I normally buy big packs of steaks so half get grilled and the other half frozen for later, or in this case half get grilled and the next day half get made into a pasta dish lol
 
I let them sit at room temp for an hour covered in a salt brine (cover all sides with salt so it looks like a snowstorm) for 1hour. Wash them off, dry, lightly salt/pepper/lemon pepper.

Make a little herb butter to serve with.

Reverse sear - devour.
