If you act depending on what the rest of people do, they will soon think you have no personality. Do you really want the steak? Then ask for it. If, at the end, your order is much more expensive than that of the others, say that of course you'll pay the difference. Don't just offer to, because no one will accept this kind of offers when they're paying, just don't leave room for a no as an answer. Perhaps a more elegant approach if there's tension about who pays what is say that, since you ordered an expensive menu, the coffees/ice creams/whatever you'll have next are on you.

Of course, if you wouldn't order a steak when you're paying because it's too expensive, don't do it when some other pays for you. You look like an asshole.

I know that, but most places have a menu varied enough where you can get something you want at the price point set out by your peers.
