Once all the coating is gone, stick it in a big pot of boiling water. Watch it until it stops curling, then count to 30 (usually around 5 minutes, but differs with size) - then turn the heat off and let it sit for about 3 minutes.
We usually steam ours though, it preserves the flavor better in my opinion. But unless you have a good steamer that lets you dangle the octopus, it might be hard to do.
