The 41-year-old has taken over at Villa Park after Dean Smith was fired following five consecutive defeats.
Villa are just two points above the relegation zone, and Gerrard is well aware that he must quickly improve his team's fortunes.
"Long term, the club would like to be back on a European level, I don't think now is the right time to put any date on that," he said.
"For me more importantly, it is about focusing on the short-term, which is Brighton at the weekend. We need to start winning football matches again."
He has already made his mark at the training ground by banning tomato ketchup.
"It was banned before I had seen it!" Gerrard said.
"The players have to have the right mentality. Go above and beyond. They need to strive to be elite."
