Instructions:
For Prepping the Octopus:
Tenderize the Octopus: If using frozen octopus, thaw it completely. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the octopus for 45-60 minutes until tender (depending on the size). Check tenderness by piercing with a fork; it should slide in easily.

Cool and Cut: Once the octopus is tender, remove it from the water and let it cool slightly. Cut the octopus into large pieces, separating the tentacles.

For Marinating and Grilling:
Marinate the Octopus: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Toss the octopus in the marinade and let it sit for at least 30 minutes (the longer, the better for flavor).
