A marinating steak should be cooked low and slow, because it is often a tougher cut of meat and that helps it become more tender. Note: This does not mean they should be overcooked!

A grilling steak generally should be cooked at a higher heat. You can sear each side for 60-90 seconds then a few mins on each side depending on how thick the cut is. I use a pressure test to determine if to is done, using the firmness of the ball of your hand in different positions.
