He’s known for his love of good food – and David Beckham really treated himself when he left on Monday night.
The football icon headed to upmarket steak restaurant Papi Steak in Miami for a roast dinner, despite the meal being traditionally eaten on a Sunday in the UK.
David, 47, licked his lips when he laid eyes on the giant roast beef – and while the prices aren’t on the venue’s menu, it won’t have been cheap.
Several food bloggers have noticed the restaurant’s very pricey trick of charging $1,000 for a steak that arrives at your table in a gold-inlaid leather case—a reference to Quentin Tarantino’s 1994 film Pulp Fiction.
The 55-ounce Wagyu Tomahawk steak is similar to the cut of meat David favored on Monday, though the restaurant offers several versions of the dish, including the less expensive 32-ounce Glatt Kosher Tomahawk.

Papi Steak is the brainchild of David’s friend Dave Grutman and it’s clear he’s like his “chef” son Brooklyn, 24, who likes to eat expensive meat.
Earlier this year, Brooklyn splashed out hundreds of pounds with its controversial ‘Michelin-style’ Sunday Roast.
The novice chef put his spin on a traditional roast dinner, whipping up aged beef that looked undercooked with a side of carrots and potatoes.
The TV personality was widely mocked over the Instagram video, with fans claiming that the beef looked raw and that too much butter had been used to cook the vegetables.
Fans also wondered how much the meal would have cost to prepare and if the average person could afford to replicate it.
Butchers told MailOnline that the meat appeared to be a five-kilogram piece of 28-day dry-aged sirloin steak, which would be worth between £200 and £300 in a meat market.

Brooklyn also used large amounts of butter, which is currently at a skyrocketing price due to a global milk shortage.
Shocked fans rushed to comment on the cost of the meal, commenting: ‘What hurts me the most is that it probably costs more than most British families can afford to eat in a week. [sic]’
Others added, “Heart attack on a plate.” Totally unnecessary amount of it. Most people’s budget does not include “old” meat. In fact, those black gloves scare me anyway. So unattractive!’;
‘It’s such a shame, while others are dying of hunger. Where is the ‘dislike’ button?’; ‘I think it looks like money?’; “Doesn’t he know how expensive lurpak is, for no expensive housing crisis in the United States?”
‘I couldn’t afford the amount of butter used! Rather pay a tenner for carvery than £80 in butter’; ‘I wonder what the cost is as the price of butter was about £430’.

Despite backlash over the meal, Brooklyn received praise from his mother Victoria Beckham, who said she would use the recipe as “inspiration” for the next meal she makes for her family.
The 48-year-old designer shared Brooklyn’s video on Instagram, writing, “Inspiration for Sunday’s Roast. I’ll try this for your father and siblings!’
Returning to fan criticism, she then emphatically added, “It’s rare people not raw.”
As he presented the step-by-step guide, Brooklyn fans were amazed at the sheer amount of butter and oil used for the meal, with some saying the meat was way too raw when he proudly plated it.
Brooklyn started by basting the huge roast with two slices of butter, garlic, and spices before putting it in the oven.
Fans who watched the video claimed the amount he consumed was “reckless” and even suggested it could cause a heart attack.
Then there were the potatoes which were coated in oil and beef tallow to make them ‘really crispy’, and plenty of Yorkshire puddings which collected a puddle of oil in the centre.
Again, the pair turned to butter when cooking carrots and mixed it with carrot juice to create a glaze over the veggies.
“So much fat!” After taking a bite, Brooklyn said, “Just like you can have it in England.” The tastiest Sunday Roast.’ But it seems that some of his followers begged to differ
After taking a bite, Brooklyn said, “Just like you can have it in England.” The tastiest Sunday Roast.’
But it seems that some of his followers begged to differ.
One wrote, “I don’t think I’d eat meat like that,” while another follower added, “I might as well bite the cow while it’s grazing.”
A third agreed: “A bit rare,” while others were offended by the sheer amount of butter used in the meal.
One follower quipped, “Heart attack on a plate,” while another added, “Way too much oil.”
Others thought it looked nice though, with one writing, “Incredible!!! Share the recipe.’
Brooklyn has largely been cooking for Instagram videos in recent years, sharing basic tips with his followers on meals like burgers and sandwiches.
But he admitted to Bustle in a recent interview, “I’m not a professional chef at all.”
‘I never said that. I would never say that. Obviously, my father [retired footballer David Beckham] knew what he was doing at a very young age. I’ve only been cooking for three years.’
Brooklyn emphasized, “It’s okay to be 25, 26 or even 30 and not know what you’re doing yet. You know what I mean?’
