The Iowa Beef Industry Council recommends roasting standing rib roast to medium-rare or medium, as do other experts. Roast at 450 degrees F for 15 minutes; then roast at 325 degrees F for 1 hour. Roast at 450 degrees F for 15 minutes; then roast at 325 degrees F for 1 hour 20 minutes.
You will need to turn your eye of rib roast periodically to ensure even cooking. For an eye of rib roast that is medium-rare, continue to grill for 55-65 minutes until a meat thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the roast registers 125°F. Remember, your roast will continue to warm after removing it from the grill.
