Hi, I was wondering, playing Victimize, while it resolves i will target 2 creatures cards in my graveyard, then i need to sacrifice a creature on the battlefield , we are debating if this is possible to use STEVE's ability to get lands.

Targets are chosen while casting the spell, same as always.
115.1a An instant or sorcery spell is targeted if its spell ability identifies something it will affect by
using the phrase “target [something],” where the “something” is a phrase that describes an
object and/or player. The target(s) are chosen as the spell is cast; see rule 601.2c. (If an activated
or triggered ability of an instant or sorcery uses the word target, that ability is targeted, but the
spell is not.)

Sakura-Tribe Elder's ability can only resolve if you activate that ability, which includes sacrificing Sakura-Tribe Elder as part of paying the cost for that ability. Sacrificing it for something else, such as the resolution of Victimize, has nothing to do with that ability.
118.10. Each payment of a cost applies to only one spell, ability, or effect. For example, a player can’t
sacrifice just one creature to activate the activated abilities of two permanents that each require
sacrificing a creature as a cost. Also, the resolution of a spell or ability doesn’t pay another spell or
ability’s cost, even if part of its effect is doing the same thing the other cost asks for.
