Continue to braise/simmer it for another hour or so. Keep checking doneness by piercing the tentacles with a fork or knife until there’s little resistance.

I have tried braising the octopus prior to grilling and it was still tough. I braised a 5lb octopus for over an hour with a cork. Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong? Should I beat it on the rocks? :-)
