Directions:

Beat the octopus with a meat hammer or against the concrete (as they do in Greece) to soften it up.
This may take 15 minutes or more.
Cut and clean the octopus into pieces about twice the size of a serving because the meat will shrink when cooked.
Combine the vinegar, a 1/4 cup of olive oil, the garlic, some oregano, salt and pepper.
Place marinade in large ziploc bag and add octopus.
Marinate overnight for best results but 3 hrs in the fridge will do.
To cook, warm the BBQ to low-medium heat and lay the meat on the grill.
Baste with a mixture of the remaining olive oil, the juice from the lemons, and the oregano, being careful not to cause a flame to erupt in the BBQ.
When the octopus is done (about 15 minutes), plate, and pour the remaining marinade over the removed octopus and serve.
