I’ve tried a number of different types of meat, but never venison. I know people usually describe it as being gamey, but is it comparable to any other meats? For example, given that description, I’d picture it as being similar to a leaner goat meat.

It’s most similar to beef. I would recommend adding it to chili, stew, or curry. In dishes that are cooked forever and heavily seasoned, you may not be able to tell much difference.
I’ve never tried it grilled like a steak, I would suspect that’d be quite different to beef.
With game meat, you usually need tenderloin or at least sirloin cut to parts, to make something fried like a steak, to really work. I eat wild moose meat quite regularly, and that is like thicker, leaner, stronger, beef. As ground meat it works like beef, just tastes different and requires more cooking oil, but for actual pieces being slowly oven-cooked in some way works the best. Letting the leaner meat simmer until it becomes softer, makes it a lot tastier.
I’ve had it pounded and pan fried. It was like a somewhat tougher, gamier chicken-fried steak or wienerschnitzel.
It was… okay. Wouldn’t turn it down, but also wouldn’t seek it out.
