How To Dislodge A Piece Of Steak From The Throat Of A Child?

My 7 year old has swallowed a piece of steak without chewing it. It seems to be stuck in his chest area. He has no problem breathing but cannot dislodge it and is spitting up a lot of saliva. He is in good form but this is going on about an hour now. How can I help him dislodge it?
