2. Make a lengthwise cut, about 1 1/2 inches deep, along center of each tenderloin roast. Into cut section of each tenderloin, spoon half of the mushroom mixture; pack mixture firmly. With string, tie each tenderloin securely in several places to hold cut edges of meat together.

3. Preheat broiler if manufacturer directs. Place both tenderloins, cut side up, on rack in broiling pan; broil 15 minutes. If necessary, cover stuffing with foil to prevent it from browning and drying out. Carefully turn tenderloins, cut side down, and broil 15 minutes longer for rare or until of desired doneness.

4. Meanwhile, prepare Brandied Tomato Gravy.

5. To serve, place tenderloins on cutting board; let stand 10 minutes for easier slicing. Remove string; slice meat. Arrange slices on warm large platter; garnish with watercress sprigs and cherry tomatoes. Serve gravy in gravy boat.
