That means that you don't have grub support for your platform,
presumably x86_64-efi, installed. You can just install the appropriate
package, grub-efi-amd64 in Debian, to resolve this problem.

If you are compiling from source rather than installing via a package
manager, you should run ./configure with the parameter
"--with-platform=efi" to have grub's efi support built.
