5. Preheat oven to 350°F.
6. Cut each tenderloin lengthwise about 3/4 of the way through the thickness of the meat.
7. Open meat like a book and using a food mallet, flatten each tenderloin to about 1/2 inch thickness.
8. Divide the stuffing mixture in half and cover each tenderloin with the stuffing mixture, pressing it firmly into an even layer over the entire surface of the meat.
9. Beginning at one of the shorter ends, roll the tenderloin up to enclose the stuffing.
10. Tie each rolled tenderloin with kitchen string in at least 3 places to secure the roll.
11. Brush each tenderloin with mustard and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
12. Place tenderloins side by side in a small roasting pan.
