1. Prep the Steak: Preheat your grill to high heat. Season the club steaks generously with salt and pepper.
2. Sear the Steak: Brush the steaks with olive oil and place them directly over high heat. Sear for 2-3 minutes per side, or until a deep crust forms.
3. Indirect Heat: Move the steaks to a cooler part of the grill and cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until they reach your desired level of doneness.
4. Create the Sauce: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and rosemary, and cook until fragrant.
5. Infuse the Flavor: Pour in the red wine, beef broth, balsamic vinegar, honey, and Dijon mustard. Bring to a simmer and cook until the sauce has thickened slightly.
6. Finish the Dish: Remove the steaks from the grill and let them rest for 10 minutes. While the steaks rest, strain the sauce and return it to the pan. Bring the sauce to a boil and reduce until it reaches your desired consistency.
7. Plate and Serve: Plate the steaks and drizzle the rich, flavorful sauce over them. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Serving Ideas:

Elegant Pairing: Serve with roasted root vegetables and a side of creamy mashed potatoes.

Rustic Charm: Pair with grilled asparagus and a side of truffle fries.
