An elephant is CR 4 and Huge. So not only can neither spell summon an elephant RAW, your DM would be fundamentally changing the balance of the spell by house-ruling that you could do so.
Here are some example creatures your DM might consider homebrewing into a level 5 "Find Greatest Steed" spell:
Those are all Large and CR 3. For huge, Ankylosaurus is the only CR 3 creature that really fits, but it would be a pretty big deal to open up the spell to Huge options.
If your DM wants to homebrew Find Greater Steed to work on Huge critters, here are the CR 2 critters that fit (there aren't any critters that fit at a lower CR, Huge creatures trend dangerous):

Find Greater Steed can summon a creature similar to a griffon, pegasus, peryton, dire wolf, rhinoceros, or saber-toothed tiger. These range in CR from 1 to 2 and in size from Medium to Large.
