Split tenderloin down center about 2/3 way through. Flatten slightly with a meat
pounder.
Spread the mustard in a thin layer over the open meat. Scatter 1 T. of the
peppercorns over the mustard. Place the sage leaves over the center.
Shape the tenderloin back into the original shape and tie in several places. Rub
