You don't, Grub 2 has its own sh-like scripting language.

OK I did some search. Grub 2 did use Lua for some time and later dropped it.

Not quite true either. It was never the default; and we still support it as a bolt-on extension from grub-extras. It's the sort of thing you might build in if you have particularly complex scripting needs. For most purposes, we'd rather focus on the sh-like "GRUB script".
Grub script Posted Dec 12, 2012 13:57 UTC (Wed) by HelloWorld (guest, #56129) [Link] By the way, is there a way to iterate over the files in a directory with that language? There seems to be no command substitution and it doesn't seem possible to loop over the result of a globbing expression either.

It's in grub-extras, but not part of the GRUB core (and as far as I know not in any distro packages):
