Butterfly tenderloins by slicing lengthwise but not cutting completely through. Open each tenderloin to make a flat piece. In a small bowl, dissolve bouillon in water. In a medium saucepan, saute celery and onion in butter until onion is transparent. Mix lightly with bouillon, sesame seed and next 4 ingredients.

Spoon stuffing onto 1 tenderloin, cut side up; place second tenderloin on top with cut side down. Cover with 4-6 strips of bacon. Wrap string around and tie to hold tenderloins together. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place on rack in shallow roasting pan. Bake at 350 for 1 hour. Serves 6
